Show Moab's slickrock , makes great arena By Tony Bonce Moab skateboarding buffs received recognition for a multi-acre skateboarding park. Several locals skateboard skate-board od Moab Slickrock Motorcycle Mo-torcycle Trail. The terrain the skateboarders use is compressed com-pressed sandstone, with many rolling hills and gullies. Some of the runs they make are over a mile long. After finishing finish-ing a run, they walk back to the top, only to skate down again. David Urbanek wrote to the Wide World of Skateboarding, Skate-boarding, a national magazine, maga-zine, and told them about the multi-acre park. The magazine maga-zine sent down Neil Britt to check it out. Neil took pictures pic-tures and wrote a story about the park. It was then printed in the Wide World of Skateboarding. Skate-boarding. When Neil came down he told David to find some skateboarders for some pictures and a story. In the magazine are pictures of the park and some local skateboard skate-board riders-Rick Berry, Joe Arnold, Randy Lombardie, David Urbanek, and, the only girl, Teresa Springer. The nicest time to go skateboarding skate-boarding in the local park is in the spring and fall, according to WW of Skateboarding. In the summer it can be over one hundred degrees, and in the winter it's icy and snowy. The article stressed that riders in the park should always wear safety equipment, equip-ment, which includes hard helmet, gloves, knee pads, and heavy clothing. Always skateboard with at least one more person so assistance will be available if an accident occurs. |
