Bayr’s Family Skate School
Reimagining the future of skateboarding
Bespoke Instruction:
Tailored approach to meet each family member exactly where they are. We like to incorporate goal setting, bite-sized steps, and problem-solving skills to increase confidence and perseverance.
Family Connection:
Building bonds on the board and in the community. We lead with a fun-first mindset, because the best skater out there is the one having the most fun.
Upstanding Culture:
We cultivate an inclusive community where you don’t have to step on a board to be part of the flow. We encourage participation from every angle, celebrating the many different ways our community makes skateboarding whole.
Uplifting Enrichment:
Nurturing the person at every stage of development, not just the skater. Discover the surprising ways skateboarding can support positive growth in children and adults.
Welcome to the family.
Who we are
What’s up everyone! Bayr here.
Alex and I both grew up in Denver, CO, and eventually skateboarding brought us together. In 2020, we founded Cornerstone Skate Foundation with other skaters in our community, to promote accessibility and inclusivity within the Denver scene. With CSF, we partnered with local and international groups to provide free skate lessons, equipment giveaways, access to mental health services, skatepark advocacy, etc.
When our son Marz was born in 2022, we continued to work with city officials and local nonprofits to focus on underserved communities, particularly students aged 6-18, and continue our skatepark advocacy.
In 2024, we made the difficult decision to close Cornerstone to focus on our parenting and family goals.
As Marz’s interest in skateboarding grew, it quickly became our favorite thing to do together. We get to be active outside, and now are able to fully realize the benefits it can have on every stage of development.
In 2025, we moved to Westminster, CO and made it our home. Opening our own skateboard school here just made sense.
By blending our deep roots in Denver’s skate advocacy with the developmental insights we’ve gained raising a young skater, we’ve built a school dedicated to serving our community with professional expertise and a personal, family-first approach.
TL:DR - We are a fam that loves to skate together and want to share that love with our community.
