Photos: Skateboarders at skate park off Evans Street

By Howard B. Owens

I often drive by the Skate park off Evans Street on my way home and think -- I should take some pictures there, but usually, the skaters just seem to be milling about. Today, they were doing some jumps, so I thought this might be a good photo opportunity.

I met Moosie Gard, Isaiah Munroe (above), Dimetrious Williams, Justin Barton and Mike Leon. 

Leon wasn't doing a lot of skating while I was there, but the other four are featured in the shots after the jump:

This last photo is Moosie. After I finished taking my shots, I went to collect their names and couldn't help but notice Moosie's striking eyes. I asked him about them and he said they're contacts. He said he has a whole collection of different color lenses.

I really wished I could have gotten a shot of something I saw on Main Street on Monday. I saw a boy riding a bike on the sidewalk in front of GCASA and behind him a boy on a motor scooter. I thought...something is not right here. I looked again and the boy on the bike had a rope and was towing the boy on the scooter. They were laughing and having a great time. Now that is some good, clean fun. I got a good chuckle out of it as well!
