Will Gosnell

skate world staff - will

Hello, my name William Gosnell. I am a skate guard for Skate World. I am a new skater, kinda. I skated when I was little at Skate World back in the early 80’s for a couple years, but recently started skating again with my son (a little over 2 years ago). I did not realize how much fun I would have doing it again. My son and I skate shuffle and jam skate style. I really enjoy helping the new skaters learn how to skate, and even teach some of the better skaters how to rhythm skate style and start learning new tricks. Plus it helps me learn more styles and tricks. Skate World is where I started and where I call home. I have known the family for more years than I care to mention, lol. I am 47 years old and skating helps to keep me in good health. The benefits from skating are too many to name, but the people and the family are what stands out the most. We are all very close. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me.

Stay tuned next week for the last installment of our Get to Know the Skate World Staff blog series.

Welcome!

Join us at Skate World for family fun and entertainment! From great birthday parties to exciting fundraisers, Skate World is here for you.


Our birthday parties are one of a kind. We have seen three generations of families have their parties at skate world! Bring your kids for a day they will never forget! They'll get to skate for hours and you won't have to worry about clean up.

We love giving back to the community. Does your school, church, or other non-profit need help raising money? Find out more about our fundraiser opportunities at Skate World.

Skating has always been a great way to get kids off the couch, now it's a great way to get them hands on with their school work too! Our new S.T.E.M. program is a unique and educational experience that gets students excited about learning.
