Game of SKATE

Chesley Park skaters, spectators, and parents gathered at the site of the old Chesley Skate park for the Game of SKATE skate contest. There were about 40 skaters participating in the event. Many talked about how nice it was to be up at the old skate park again, with or without a building. 

 

Contestants were entered into raffles for a Chesley Skate Park memorial decks and an unlimited year skate pass to the interim skate park location.

 

Taylor M. and Andrew S. won  memorial decks.

Tadgh F. won the year skate pass.

 

Tadgh Fitzpatrick also won the Game of SKATE intermediate class (it was clearly his lucky day!)

Jake Byron won the Game of SKATE open class.

Both contestants won additional skate products and a free 11-visit punch card to the interim skate park location.
