Spring Fling is an annual community event that Winnie the Pooh Preschool hosts. They had lots of festival-type activities for young children, along with a skateboard demonstration and lesson by the Loudoun County Skate Project. We set up a portable mini halfpipe and some small street obstacles in the parking lot in front of the school.

After a majority of the other scheduled activities were completed, about 25 kids and parents joined us in our demonstration and lesson. We first spoke with the kids about safety and the basics of skateboarding so they would grasp some small knowledge of the action that was about to unfold. Our skateboard demonstration was next, we impressed them with a variety of street tricks and mini halfpipe maneuvers. Then some of the kids who wanted to participate got the opportunity to try out the mini halfpipe themselves alongside a LCSP skater.
