First stop - Montgomery Skate Park |
Around opening time at noon, we pulled up to the park, paid our $3 each and got down to some skating. The park was surprisingly very fun! It was also
surprisingly busy. As some of the locals told us, this was the busiest they had ever seen it. Odd? There were about 50 or so folks skating, scottering, inlining, etc.
Pro Photog, Montgomery local and SkateAlabama.com forum regular, Dave Campbell (DCPhotos from the SkateAlabama.com forum) even made it out for a short session before running off to work. I think we all had
a great time there, but the time just flew. Before I knew it, it was 3pm and time for us to head back towards home for the second stop of the day. |
