Immediately this has been one of the best things extra curriculars I have enrolled my son in. He started at 3 and took to it almost immediately. He has some stranger danger at all his lessons but he warmed up to the coaches at little ripper the fastest I've ever seen. He has a great time and I am very excited to see his skills and confidence grow.

Our 6-year-old son has been attending Little Rippers Skateboarding for the past 6 months, and it’s been such an awesome experience for him—and for our whole family. He started as a complete novice, inspired by an educational pop-up at Hexe Coffee, and now he looks forward to skating every week!

We enrolled in the monthly membership, and he skates once a week. Over time, he’s had the chance to work with about six different instructors—all of whom bring their own unique style and energy. Each coach has been fantastic, and our son has loved learning from all of them. The entire staff is supportive, positive, and clearly passionate about what they do.

As someone who didn’t grow up skating, I’ve really grown to appreciate and love the community that surrounds this sport. It’s welcoming, encouraging, and a ton of fun to be a part of. Our family genuinely looks forward to our weekly sessions, and we’re especially excited for the upcoming Summer Skate JAMs.

Huge thanks to Enrico and the entire LR team for creating such an incredible environment for young skaters to grow and thrive. Highly recommended!

Exceptional team coaching all of the students! Everyone is friendly, has a wonderful personality and genuinely interested in teaching.

A supportive, positive, encouraging community. My son is having a BLAST and wants to be skating every day - practicing patience, perseverance, dedication and just having a lot of fun. I really appreciate the percentage of women and girls skating and teaching here. The older students cheer the younger ones on. Just an amazing place! If you are considering registering, definitely do it!

Both my son and daughter have been taking classes for about a month now, and they love it. The coaches are supportive, and encouraging and make each lesson fun for the kids.

My boys started in October 2020 and the growth I've seen in them since has been profound. Their confidence, their motivation, and their character has grown into this creative beauty. What I love most is their want to help other rippers and be their cheerleaders.
