AGGRESSIVE INLINE SKATING SCHOOL FOR KIDS IN AMSTERDAM

Hello YouTube, my name is Ricardo Lino and I'm a wheel addict. I'm in Amsterdam, in the north part of Amsterdam. I'm with Evo, the owner of the skate shop called DC Soul. Let me show you the skate shop. Okay, now that you know the skate shop, you want to know also a little bit more about Evo. I've been skating since I was 13, started teaching when I was 16, started selling stuff when I was 21, like knee pads and vintage skates at first, used skates and then slowly like wheels and parts and new skates. I started a web shop and then opened the skate shop when I was 26. This store is six years old now, but we had a web shop before and we had like a warehouse before. Started teaching when I was 16 and grew kind of nice, but had like 30-40 students. Then I opened the shop and my focus was more towards creating the DC Soul brand and having a nice store. So the lessons are kind of like faded away a bit, but then I realized that all the good children, like under 20, in the whole Amsterdam area that were any good, they were all my ex-students. That really made an impact to me, like we need to continue this and grow the sport. After I started the shop and finished the shop, kind of like created the skate school and put my energy into that, and now we're doing about 530 kids in one week. Most of them through school programs and we have like 60 students that are on our own courses, that are like weekly attending on our own courses, but we also have like weekly school program courses and we do birthday parties and like business, how do you call that? Team building stuff, yeah exactly. The entire business grew, it almost doubled. Well I'm not saying that the shop doubled, I'm saying the business as a whole doubled. Like for instance, last Saturday there were like a couple of students of mine in the shop buying skates and stuff, so it does get back to you. Okay, anything else you want to say? It's called aggressive e-money skating people, acknowledge it, own it. Like it or not, thank you. Yes, so Ivo is, like I said, he's been teaching a lot of kids, like last week he teached more than 500 kids how to skate, so I decided to come here to show all of you what Ivo has been doing, so enjoy this one. And that's it, I hope you guys enjoy what Ivo has been doing in Amsterdam, I hope you take some ideas of something that you can do in your hometown and hopefully together we're gonna make skating grow more and more and more.
