The lessons are available Wednesdays from 9 to 10 a.m., 10 to 11 a.m., and 11 to 12 p.m., and Thursdays from 10 to 11 a.m. and 11 to 12 p.m. during the month of August.

Madsen will cover various aspects of scootering, including foundational skills, advanced techniques, and personalized tips to help riders elevate their performance.
“I love that North Shore Bike Park offers an indoor facility for the kids and adults to have fun!” she said. “I'm super excited to be coaching here at the bike park, sharing some of my knowledge and tips from my professional riding experience. I enjoy coaching as I get to see the rider's progression, and seeing them learn something new, like their first Tailwhip, is always such a great accomplishment. The joy and excitement after landing a new trick or learning something new is what it's all about.”
