SO RAD! to all the skaters, fans, vendors and friends who turned out for Strawberry Daze, a DIY skateboarding event at Rotary Skate Bowl at Strawberry Hill Park on Saturday.
The bowl saw ollies, kickflips, aerials and grinds aplenty during the daylong event, along with raffles for skateboards and gear from local skateparks and @thrashermagazine – plus live music and some truly great pizza.
Bainbridge Island's skate bowl enjoys iconic status regionwide, and skaters came from all over to test their skills. Donations made through the Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation on this most excellent afternoon earned about $1,800 toward maintaining the skate bowl. Thank you, skaters!
"I grew up skating this skate park and it gave a lot to me, and the least I could do is give a little back," Strawberry Daze organizer Tyler Horner said, "Nothing like skating, playing music with your friends and also, like, giving back."
