"Skate Pass had been a great addition to our physical education and health program. From the research and development provided by the company, the information they provide to help schools adopt this program, and the associations they have with the equipment companies, this program is second to none. It allows schools to focus on a non-traditional physical education sport and engross the minds and bodies of many kids who might just not be that interested in physical education class. It allows kids to take part in a sport that is now mainstream for many of our youth and provides them the opportunity to learn and challenge themselves at their own pace and at the same time be safe. This program has made many of my students realize that skateboarding for sport or exercise does not mean you have to do 1080’s or ollie trash cans, but rather it can be as simple as pushing and cruising down the street as well as being a lot of fun.

Skate Pass, Kingsway Middle School and its skateboard students thank you for getting us excited about the sport and exercising our bodies and minds in ways once thought impossible in a school setting. Thanks again and Keep Riding."

"Every year, I survey our 8th grade students as they finish their final semester in Physical Education. One of the questions I ask is, "What were your top three favorite activities in PE these past two years?" This year, skateboarding was consistently listed as one of the top two favorite units listed by our students. They really love this! Thanks for such a great program. The equipment and curriculum are great and practically anybody can learn how to do it. I am a believer!"
 
"I wanted to tell you that our teachers looked at the curriculum and were very impressed. You guys did a great job making it easy to teach. I think there might be other schools (in our district) that are interested in purchasing in the future! We even had tons of kids go out and buy their own skateboards. It is really catching on!"

"I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for doing this. I have never seen our kids so excited about being active! I think I am just as excited as they are. The equipment is awesome and I just wanted you to know how pumped our kids are to be the first elementary school in Kansas to do this! Thanks again."

"Skate Pass has really helped us build momentum toward our new community skatepark. So many more kids are interested in skateboarding now that they've had a safe, solid introduction to the sport."
"Thanks so much Eva! You, Eric, and your crew are kick-flippin' awesome!"

"(The first day of the curriculum) is going great! I told my first hour that they should  be very proud because they were the first students to ever do a skateboard unit in the state of Kansas. This is a great addition to physical education. The students have surprised me so far with how well the majority can "Push". The rest of the curriculum went very well and the kids had a great time with it. Feel free to let other PE teachers contact me about the program."

"First off I would like to say that the Skate Pass program has been a huge success for my before- and after-school pogram. It is especially amazing that we serve 25 students every morning at 7 am, who instead of skating out in front of the campus, can skate inside our gymnasium, and learn the proper techniques at the same time. We are drawing 25 students every morning at 7am faithfully!! The true testament comes from my attendance office because since we started our AM skate club, the tardies and absences of the students in the club have drastically declined!! That's amazing!!"

"It was awesome! The kids enjoyed it so much. The Skate Pass curriculum is safer and easier than inline. I had kids who couldn't stand on inline skates riding and progressing on the skateboard."
"The skateboarding skills and activities taught in the Skate Pass program are a great way to enhance balance and core stability while having fun and meeting new challenges in quality physical education."

“The Skate Pass program is appropriate for elementary, middle and high school students. The kids are taught skateboarding fundamentals while wearing protective gear. This ensures a safe and exciting learning environment.”
"I used to be afraid of skateboarding, but now I've discovered that skateboarding is really fun."
