Safety Class in Newcastle?
Would anyone be willing to come to Newcastle for a day in the school holidays after Christmas to teach a bunch of Groms about footbreaking, shutdown slides, wearing safety gear, etc. Preferably someone young, say late teens to early twenties, that is very good and can impress so they get the groms attention?
I am sure I could get you pay for the day from all the parents chipping in and provide food and drink, and pick up and drop back from say as far as North Sydney.
Whoever is puting their hand up would have to get the approval from members from this site as to their ability.
Cheers
BJ

That's the problem. The open roads.
The good thing about this spot is it is a new industrial subdivision. It only has one street into it and would have no traffic on a Sunday, so it could very easily be closed to traffic. Not a long run, but combines steep and shallow runs of approx 100m down to a flat road. So great for learning on.

I cant help but think that this is stuff that sba gets money to support and promote across australia.
Sba can accredit skate coaches in australia, and insure coaching clinics (problem would be they prob wouldnt support clinincs on open roads etc)
They will run an accreditation for skate coaches if you can get a group of 10 participants. I reckon my work would pay for me to do it if 9 others want to do it. The first specific longboard coaches? Maybe, thinking bigger picture councils concerned about dangerous longboarders in their community can get some safety concious experienced coaches to their town to run workshops on safe and healthy skateboarding. Similar to the programs being run in skateparks.

BJ, what you are proposing is brilliant.
Training days are currently being run and organised in Qld and S.A. for other disciplines with the support of local councils and authorities.
We can help/support from our resources/experience if you need.

Sakamoto, would love any advice you can give.
This all started because I wanted someone to give my son and his mates some lessons on stopping and safety. Easier to learn with someone teaching you. But thought it would be a good idea to open it up to others. We will see what response we get to this one and go from there.

Is this class open? Because my friend and I really need a bit of help with these sort of things and we'd definitely be willing to pay.
