Proper Rideshop

Proper Ride Shop the best skateboarding academy we've found! My kids absolutely love it here, and it's been amazing to see their confidence and skills grow with each session. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping young skaters progress, whether they're beginners or looking to master advanced tricks. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for skaters of all levels. What really stands out is the supportive and encouraging environment. Coach Matt, Coach Max and Coach Heimana focus not just on technique but also on building a love for skateboarding and fostering a sense of community. If you're looking for a place where your kids can learn, have fun, and be part of a positive skate culture, I can't recommend Proper Ride Shop enough!

If your child shows an interest in skateboarding, you need Proper Rideshop! My husband and I are not skaters, we didn't know exactly what to do when our son showed an interest in skateboarding because we couldn't really teach him how to ride. We were recommend to seek out proper Rideshop for training by a local skate shop. He started with Proper and very quickly became a great skater. He is so happy with the coaches and how they are great mentors and motivators... he is excited to show them when he finally gets that new trick and they are just as excited for him. We love Proper!! The staff, coaches, facility and all the camps and trainning opportunities are absolutely wonderful. I would give them more stars if possible !

My 12-yr old son and 9-yr old nephew recently got interested in skateboarding so dad started asking around. 3 different friends recommended Proper. We went down to check it out. It was awesome! I was amazed by the ramps, stairs, rails, etc... , the age and abilities of the riders, and I could see everything from the parents waiting area!!!We took them today for their first lesson. The student to instructor ratio was very low (4:1), so the kids got a lot of individual attention. Safety lessons first. All kids required to wear helmets and pads. Riding, stopping, and falling lessons. Then some small ramps. The instructors were AWESOME!!! They encouraged and instructed with patience for every kid at many different levels. The kids had a great time and so did we! Definitely going to sign up for more classes!

Matt and Samantha were great to work with. If you have a youngster who's interested in skateboarding and you want to provide him a place to learn the basics Proper Rideshop is a great start. We took our two elementary schoolers for the one hour intro class. In that one hour, they learned how to wear the correct protective gear, how to ride, how to do some basic tricks, and, most importantly, how to fall correctly to avoid injury. They both came away with more confidence and excitement to keep riding.Important to note - Proper doesn't just teach the basics. It's a great place for experienced riders, too.

This place is an amazing hidden gem!! They have instructional classes, clinics and open skate. It's so clean and the staff is awesome!! Definitely recommend checking this place out!

My daughter has been going to Proper Ride Shop for almost 5 years now. She has learned so much over the years through their 8 week clinics and week long camps. She has gained confidence and learned proper technique to take her skills into the skate parks and even some contests. She has also gained many lifelong friendships from going. Well worth the cost, safe and fun for the kids. I highly recommend. Also to mention they have on site skate shop where you can buy all your kids skate gear and the best quality gear(which is very important), they have everything you need except shoes.

My 7 year old started lessons here a couple of months ago, and loves it. I have to admit, I was skeptical and concerned about safety and injury. But the teaching staff are amazing. Good teacher to student ratio. Fun activities that fit the skills of each student. I love that my daughter can watch other kids - and girls- shred on the ramps! She is always excited and looks forward to the day in the not too far future when she can handle the ramps effortlessly.

Proper Rideshop is such a wonderful, family owned, business that fosters the love of skateboarding for my 2 kiddos, in a safe and fun environment. Owners Matt and Samantha are the BEST. They go above and beyond in welcoming our kids, accommodating our schedule and maximizing their learning. Coaches Max and Max (yes, there are 2 Maxes) are so good at teaching the kids the "proper" way to skate. They are patient, kind and know how to teach the kids in a way that makes it fun. My kids' skills have improved drastically since taking their classes and awesome camps. It's a great way to challenge them, reach goals and grow their confidence. We can't say enough good things about Proper and their staff. LOVE Proper!

Great place but totally disorganized I texted my child was sick for a class no response 1 wk later text again about a make up class got a really angry response no make up classes. This place is good and expensive but totally disorganized the lady owner doesn't get back in a timely fashion. Can't support this type of business

Wow so super fun for kids! Kids took the 1st 101 shred lesson (mandatory) yesterday and my 1st grade twins loved it. They had never skateboarded before. Their teacher, Max, was so patient, kind and challenging. They got to try all of the basic stuff plus a lot of extras. Sam (the owner) is so friendly and also very patient. We had a hard time scheduling a time but she worked with me via text, email and phone. So sweet and helpful! My kids pretty much hate every lesson we sign them up for but they really loved this one. Highly highly recommend!
