About This Experience in Johannesburg

This experience is done through a combination of skateboarding and walking i.e. we skate where we can skate and walk where we need to walk! Anyone who is looking to try something new OR to experience Johannesburg from the ground in a fun and informative way should definitely book this experience: you don't need any skateboarding experience to join, we start with a Skate Lesson for Beginners! Johannesburg and South Africa both have very complicated histories so this is also a great way to hear about these from our perspective! Skateboarding is fun and Joburg is cool...come have a fun and engaging time with us in the City! TIPS! Some common slang you may here along the way... Shap Shap - Used to say "Hello" OR "Goodbye" or to indicate that something is good i.e. the food/movie/experience was "Shap Shap"! Ekse, Hola - Also used as common greetings i.e. "Hello"! Sawubona (singular)/Sanibonani (group) - "Hello" in Zulu...one of the most spoken native languages in the City!
