Learn to roll with StreetWise

Friday, October 23, 2009

Register now for StreetWise skateboarding clinics and experience a world of kickflips, ollies and shuvits in the specialised two day coaching program hosted by Dubbo City Council and Skateboarding Australia.

The StreetWise interactive coaching sessions are led by some of Australia’s best freestyle sporting athletes and will be dropping in at Dubbo Skate Park from the 14th of November.

Thanks to Council, Dubbo City Youth Council, NSW Sport & Recreation and Dubbo RSL Club its $10.00 for four hours of coaching workshops over two days; but places are limited so be sure to register and secure your spot.

Participants are grouped in the coaching sessions according to their ability, these sessions cater for Beginner, All Girls & Intermediate. (All StreetWise participants are required to wear a helmet at all times).

Council’s Youth Development Officer Paul Hennock said it’s the first time that Streetwise has run an all girl group.

“Often girls will stand and watch, but they should be in there showing the boys what they can do and learning from the experts,” Paul said.

“The program will be teaching the participants new tricks and manoeuvrers but with a big emphasis on respect and safety, hence the helmet requirement,”

“It is great to bring to Dubbo skaters who compete overseas and have them pass on their skills.”

All StreetWise clinic participants will receive 2009 membership with Skateboarding Australia, personal accident insurance coverage, Slam skateboarding magazine, mania magazine, StreetWise school ruler, lots of stickers and more.

Register for one of the StreetWise sessions at the Dubbo City Council Civic Administration Building or visit www.skateboardingaustralia.org.au.
