We have partnered with Bogan Shire Council to run our popular Learn to Skate Workshop for ages 6 years and over.

Join us at Nyngan Skatepark to attend one of our FREE classes.

Learn to Skate Workshop

We believe in having a go, so students are encouraged to go at their own pace under the guidance of our coaches. By combining both the physical and creative elements of skateboarding, Totem gives students the opportunity to try out and practice a wide and unique variety of experiences to build self-esteem in a fun, safe, and supported environment.

Our beginner class is for skill level 0 to 1 and the intermediate class is for skill level 2 to 3.

Level 0 - The Newcomer

New to skateboarding and has no experience. Might have had a go but uncomfortable.

Level 1 - Beginner

Has skated a few times, limited experience, and needs to build confidence and skillset

Level 2 - Transition into Intermediate

Knows the foundational skills and wants to start exploring tricks.

Level 3 - Intermediate

Is confident on a skateboard, knows the foundational skills, a few tricks, and wants to advance to the next level.

Q. Is there a minimum or maximum age requirement to enter the event?

A. Yes, the minimum age is 6 years old. And there is no maximum age. However, some events are targeted to specific age groups and will state it on the event poster.

Q. What do I need to bring to the event?

A. Your ticket, a hat, sunscreen, and water bottle. We supply all necessary equipment for our sessions (skateboard, helmet, and safety pads). However, feel free to bring along your own board or helmet so the coaches can do a quick safety check!

Q. Do I need to fill out a waiver form?

Q. What do I do if I have registered for an event and can't make it anymore?

A. If you have registered for an event and can't make it anymore, we ask that you cancel your ticket through Eventbrite. We often sell out and people are then put onto a waitlist. If you cancel your ticket it means someone else can come to the event. If you are having difficulty canceling your ticket please contact us at bookings@totemskateboarding.com

Q. How about if it looks like rain?

A. If it looks like it's going to rain, you will be sent an event update email as soon as possible. Sorry, but we can't skate in the rain!
