Eron Fitt Skateboarding Scotts Valley

Eron Fitt has been teaching skateboarding Benoit and Lucas for a while now.
Just after the class, he showed us some of its best tricks.

Benoit and Chris at Scotts Valley skatepark

Just before the new year eve, we stopped by Scotts Valley skateboard shop to buy a new board for Benoit since He has just turned 7 and the old board is getting too small.
Eron found the perfect board for Benoit.

Benoit's new board is a bit bigger than the old board which is going to belong to Lucas now!

Chris is drinking some good vitamin for the coming session.


Benoit is grinding the cement, soon it will be the copping.

Chris feeble on the rail.
Next we moved to the big bowl where Chris showed us some of his nicest tricks (boneless, lip slide, FS air...)

Benoit's skateboarding class with Eron

Today we scheduled a skateboarding class with Eron at the Santa Cruz skate shop on the 41 first.

Benoit can put a nice sequence in the ramp, like drop-in, BS kick turn, FS kick turn, BS kick turn. It is more difficult that it seems since the ramp is super fast.

I am learning FS kick turn so I could someday bring it to FS air. I have also learned how to do fakie 360.

Skateboarding with Eron

We started the day on Sunday morning at Dislocated skateshop on the stello ramp. Benoit was kind of bored doing lap on the ramp so He decided to take some air with melon grab. Since the ramp is kind of small, Eron was kind enough to continue the class at SV skatepark.
