Overview
Free Learn to Skate classes for beginners to intermediate skaters at Bella Vista Pocket Park "POP UP" Skate Spot!'
Thanks to Landcom, we’re bringing back the Pop-Up Skate Spot for another year — and it’s going to be a good one. Expect real ramps, professional coaching, hands-on support, and a great crew to skate alongside. Whether you’re stepping on a board for the first time or keen to level up, this session is for skaters aged 6+.
This will be our 5th year running at Bella Vista, and we’re seriously stoked to keep building the skate community out here.
🛹 Landcom x Totem Skate Passport
Every participant will receive their very own Skate Passport—a fun way to track the tricks you’ve learnt and set goals for your next session. Each passport comes with a custom Landcom x Totem Skate stamp, marking your achievements and helping you see your progress over time. It’s 100% free, one per participant, and even covers last-minute drop-ins so nobody misses out!
With ramps, rails, and a supportive skate community, this day will be full of excitement, new skills, and plenty of fun!
