Local kids with a passion for skateboarding will soon be taught how to do it right. The City of Woodstock is working on offering a skateboarding class for children aged 6-9 starting in June. Director of Parks and Recreation Brian Connors says children will learn how to ride a skateboard safely as well as some basic tricks. "The big focus will be on safety. Making sure that they're wearing helmets, wrist guards, knee protection, all of those things is going to be kind of the critical base components to learning to skateboard." "Just learn how to ride and skateboard safely, how to learn some of the basic tricks and how to get on the board and that kind of programming." Connors says there will be eight classes that run from 9 to 9:45 Saturday mornings. No word at this point on how to register for the classes or the cost.
