What Families Are Saying About ASL
ASL believes skateboarding isn't just a sport — it's a way to build confidence, creativity, and community. Here's what our students and families have to say about their journeys with us:
Patient and Encouraging

Lolo C.
“I completely trust Mame with my kids. She’s patient, encouraging, and the reason they’ve fallen in love with skateboarding — they think she’s the coolest!”
Omar R.
“Mame instantly connected with my son and helped him grow confident at the skatepark. She’s patient, encouraging, and full of optimism. If your child shows interest in skating, don’t wait — reach out!”
Confidence and Skill Building
Sara F.
“I went from not standing on a board to to being comfortable with basics. Definitely recommend Mame to help with learning and having overall fun.”
Caroline W.
“In a year with Mame, my 7-year-old’s confidence and skills have grown so much. She breaks down each step so he can see his progress, and keeps every lesson active and fun.”
Kristin S.
“Mame’s warm energy put my 8-year-old at ease right away. She blends strength-building and step-by-step instruction in a way that’s both fun and effective — my son’s confidence and skills have grown so much.”
Inclusive and Community-Focused
Ryan M.
“Mame is deeply empathetic and keeps skateboarding grounded in its roots as a progressive and rebellious culture. She teaches across all demographics with care and intention, creating space for anyone — regardless of age, background, or experience — to step into skating and feel seen. If you're looking for lessons that reflect the true spirit of skateboarding, Mame’s the one.”
Gabriella G.
“Mame has been a kind, patient instructor to my teen daughter and her friend. She’s gone above and beyond — from lessons to free girls skate meetups to even taking them to Woodward. We’ve known her a long time, and she’s amazing with both teens and younger kids.”
Teaching All Ages
