Skate workshop, beginners (6-9 years)

Pats Nichols is a certified rap artist and skateboard instructor. He works as the head coach at Oslo Skate Academy spring, summer and fall, where they focus on adapting the training to each individual child in an educational and uplifting way.

He got his first skateboard when he was 7 years old, and immediately fell in love with the rolling toy. He was part of the Oslo scene from middle school until his early 20s, when he took a break after he started rapping.

Now he has been skating actively again for the past 10 years, and he himself says that he feels even better than when he was at his best in his teens, while it is even more exciting and rewarding now that information about skating is even more accessible to everyone.
