Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

Skateboarding at NC State



Alex, Eric, and Travis

No, unfortunately it isn’t a class that is offered. Although it would be difficult to give number grades, it seems much more worthwhile than say water step aerobics or squash. That’s just my opinion though.
I started out skateboarding when I was 14 or 15, but never really got any good. I could so stuff like boardslide, grind, 180, and shovit over some gaps, rails, and ledges. That was about it.
Unfortunately my flash batteries were dead when I saw these kids out skating, so I couldn’t get any good pics of them doing various tricks off the platform.

2008 Goodnight, Raleigh!
