Dan Spinks
Started Training: 2008
Dan can spot bad movement from 500 yards and has made it his goal in life to home in on and attack the bad movement gremlins and convert all those who enter Outcast into smooth moving mobile ninjas. He has a sporting background of competitive gymnastics and martial arts during his teen years before discovering his first skateboard after watching Back to the Future way back in 1986. Nearly 30 years on he still frequents the whizzplank from time to time and treats training in the same way…..it needs to be fun.....first and foremost!

Owen Pillai
Started Training: 2010
It is strongly believed that Owen has the power to actually hover 2 inches from the ground when he runs, that’s how effortless he makes it look. Running is his bag, none of this organised marathon malarkey, he runs because he loves it and his attitude is infectious. His warm up games are legendary and many strongly think that once the warm up is over they are done for the session. You can guarantee a smile on your face when he leads a session. He also heads up our Strong Kids program and we can’t think of anyone better to do that. He is married to the inimitable Kerry.

MICKEY JAMES
Started Training: 2015
Mickey smiles…. A LOT, and she has a knack of passing that smile onto all others who come within about 10ft of her. She is whirlwind of positivity and owner of probably the worst dance moves of all time. She has a background in womens rugby and will have a go (and usually succeeds) at almost anything (except dancing). Try not having a good session when she’s leading, plus you’ll learn loads about moving well and lifting heavy. Mickey is passionate about getting young people more active and heads up @theactivityeffect initiative, follow them on instagram for more awesome info on helping kids stay active.
