The skaters from youth center look forward to National Skateboarding Day in June each year. However, this year the day-long event held at Woodland Park was complete with pro demos, give-aways, and competition was stormed out. Much to the exceeding joy of the skaters, it was rescheduled for last evening. Believe me, an evening skate competition is much better than a hot summer day one!
Although none of our local skaters placed in the competition, I was proud of their efforts! Great job guys (and Samantha!!)
I thought this sidewalk chalk drawing was a pretty cool welcome to the park.
The Tattooed Tree of the Park...with lots of love and best of luck to the competitors
I must confess to messing up a bit....somehow we couldnt tell when the practice session ended and the actualy competition began. So standing not too far away from the concrete, we still missed the first group of skaters which meant that I also missed Elijah and Chris. So Sorry Guys!
Cope is up
Gearing Up For a Run
David
Chris
BooBoo
Samantha...did an awesome job showing up the guys!
Justin...just a cruising along
Dakota
Elijah...after a full day of skating, he is still going!
We have missed Shannon and his brother, Darren, since they moved to Lexington. It was good to see him and show our support. He was the only advance competitor with local ties!
Rounding up the boys.....
Do you know how hard it is to get teen age boys to act right? For just a few seconds..
I guess it is true...boys will be boys!
Finally...all together....the Headbanging Bunnies and Friends!
Justin...loaded down with his souvenirs
Wesley...just one last trick
Turning the corner, to our surprise...we finally stumbled on the door to where?
Feeding some hungry boys!
A full day of fun and good times...but all days must come to end and what a beautiful ending for this one.
A star was shining bright as I arrived home!
What have you done today to invest in a young life?
