O'Neal Ellerbe

My name is O’Neal Ellerbe and I am the founder and lead coach of Skate Everything School. I have been skating for 10 years. I've been skating professionally with Bustin Boards for over five years. Skateboarding was once my first love, now sharing that gift with the world has become my ultimate passion. I started Skate Everything School to encourage people to find joy on different shapes of skateboards. When I'm not teaching lessons, I'm running daily operations of our growing business and creating visual content professionally.

George Andrew Rivera

Hi, my name is George Andrew Rivera. I picked up my first skateboard 14 years ago and I instantly fell in love. Skateboarding is more than just a hobby for me but a way of life. It's a means of transportation and a creative outlet that has taught me many life lessons. My favorite part of skateboarding is the community I've been a part of and sharing those gifts with new skaters.
