Skate 6/20/10

Fundraiser for new Skate park near the Moran building. DJ from90.1. Sponsored by the usual suspects like JDK and Burton, the skaters competed in varying age groups for glory and gifts. Price Chopper donated hot dogs. Some company sent that caffeinated green juice which in my era was called “pea juice,” albeit without the kick. The teachers at school and counselors at camp served it in those paper cups that looked like a pleated skirt.

I don’t know enough about the sport to tell what tricks or moves they performed, the ink held my interest. I must say it was enjoyable sitting near the Lake with the music blaring and the skate boards rattling. Serious camaraderie and good sportsmanship abounded. The skaters take turns doing a trick. Its like Horse in basketball. If successful, the other has to match. First to five wins.

Kyle Burrows, a local star, won the open class. The two boys in the 8-10 class fought it out to the very end, their match ending in a tie. No women on the rink. Strange.
