COLIN PAYNE, DAILY NEWS REPORTER
Having recently lost one of their own and searching for a place to call home, Nelson area skateboarders will be coming together in a show of solidarity Monday evening.
In recognition of Go Skateboarding Day, an international event aimed at promoting skateboarding, Nelson skateboarders will be skating down Baker Street to the Nelson and District Youth Centre skate park where they’ll gather for some fun.
Elliot Ingles, program coordinator at the Nelson and District Youth Centre, helped organize the event and said it’s time for skateboarders in Nelson to come together to advocate for themselves.
“I think that at this point in the Kootenays it’s definitely needed for skateboarders and friends of skateboarders to all come together, because we need an outdoor skate park,” Ingles said. “Skate kids are fairly alienated in Nelson and they deserve a place to play as much as anyone else.
“It’s time for us all to get together and try to figure this all out because city council is not moving forward with (the skate park). We need power in numbers and I’m hoping people will come out for it.”
Ingles added that the event will also help pay homage to the late Josh Evin, the professional skateboarder and Kootenay native who died suddenly in a motorcycle accident last weekend.
The event starts at 5 p.m. across from The Sacred Ride on Baker Street, and skateboarders will make their way down Baker to Josephine before heading to the NDYC for a skate session.
Because of the new anti-skateboarding bylaw, permission was needed from local police and a police escort will accompany the skateboarders through the downtown area.”
