On this sunny Wednesday in January, an appointment is made with the Feelethik association! In the program ? Discovery of skateboarding on the Andernos ramps. Are you ready ? On your wheels, it's going to be smooth* … *For the more novices, of which we were not so long ago, a little glossary has been included at the end of the article ;)
Okay, let's clarify one important point! No, we didn't get on a skateboard... Our dexterity being legendary, we preferred to ask questions and especially take photos of the group of apprentice riders practicing on the different ramps of the skatepark.
Free access ramps but not only that!
The skatepark is accessible to everyone, young and old, by scooter, roller, skateboard or any other means of transport suitable for such practice (Don't count on us for a demonstration...).
It is also coupled with a freshly resurfaced BMX track, so all riders will find what they are looking for there.
Become a RIDER
If like us, when we talk to you about tail, de ollie or of noseslide, you don't understand anything about it, don't worry, we don't either! Except that in the meantime, we asked experts. Because yes, you can learn to skateboard. On Andernos, the Feelethik association teaches (among other activities) the riders of tomorrow the right postures and techniques to practice in complete safety.
For more information on the courses, you can contact the Feelethik association directly who will be happy to answer all your questions. It offers courses all year round, courses during the holidays, skate camps, day trips, sporting and cultural events, for all ages.
You still have time, but if you like board sports, we advise you to save your April 10th! The association organizes the event Feel the Ride in Andernos, and we really advise you to take a trip there…
