Skate The Foundry – West Philly in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“Amazing spot to learn to skate for all levels! Iu2019ve been skating since I was a kid, but never had the guts to Ollie or ride half pipes. Within my first 10 mins of a private lesson with Brett, I landed an Ollie that was 27 years in the making! One of the best feelings ever. Great for kids, but also really great for adults who want to learn or develop their abilities. Will definitely be back soon”
