MEET JT 🔥
This is the homie “JT”, a super talented skateboarder and instructor from Washington, D.C. JT 15+ years of experience on the board and he is the founder of JT Skate School, where he teaches new skaters how to get comfortable on their board. He’s become a legend at his hometown skatepark, where he teaches everyone from 4 year olds finding their first push, to adults in their 60s. Keeping lessons relaxed, supportive, and genuinely fun. Other skaters at the park have told me that they’ll turn their own music down when he’s giving lessons just to hear the tips he’s giving the kids!
Skateboarding became a huge part of JT’s life at age 10; it helped him find himself, opened countless doors over the years, and has even introduced him to many of his closest friends to this day. It also taught him the value of having something you’re truly passionate about and how that passion can help lead you through life. At this point, JT says that he knows how to skate better than he knows how to walk.
Beyond D.C., he has worked with
@cubaskate to support skateboarding communities in Havana, hosted skateboard camps in Jackson Hole, WY with
@carvingthefuture (2024 & 2025), climbed the Grand Teton with
@citykidsdc in 2016, and even appeared in Queen of the South and Wonder Woman: 1984 through skate work. Whether he’s helping someone land a new trick or just feel comfortable cruising, JT brings a laid-back energy that makes skating feel welcoming for everyone. It’s never too late !”
JT IS ONE OF De’ HOMIES 🌻 🍺 🏆 🚬 🎈 🌵
