Go Skate's owner, Rob Dunfey says, "We used to get calls all the time from people who would love to learn to skate, but we didn't have a location in their area.  Now, they can learn how to skate."  

It is now possible to get a skateboard lesson at any public U.S. skate park year-round.  Dunfey also adds, "It didn't make sense that you could go to any ski area and get a ski lesson, but you couldn't go to any skate park and get a skate lesson."
