On January 30, 1988, INXS land their first and only US #1 hit with Need You Tonight, which was on the album called Kick. On the cover of the album is a skateboard.

Bonus point if you capture someone doing a trick where their board is off the ground (e.g., ollie).

Happy hunting!

I sure hope there are some skaters that love sub-freezing weather today!

Unfortunately, it looks like there aren’t too many skaters out at 8:30am on a Saturday when it’s 25 degrees Fahrenheit. There were two cars parked by it, an Audi and a BMW — I guess skating’s not as punk as it used to be.

1/30/2021 — skate park. At Powhatan Springs Skate Park in Arlington, although when I visited there were more little kids on scooters using the park than actual skateboarders.

I’m laughing because when/if all the dealers have a zoom meeting early next week, someone is going to mention all the bike riders who stopped by looking for a yellow mercedes benz. Then they’ll all have that strange look! Just for the record, Lefty Laura and I were at the Tysons Corner dealership. How about anyone else? We should see how far we all ranged in order to get the shot at a dealer!

I rode to the closest to me dealership on S Pickett St, Alexandria.

At the Herndon Skate Park. It’s really nice because it’s accessible for kids of all ages from the W&OD. There’s one at Lake Fairfax but that’s a bit of a challenge to get to unless you live close by, and even then, it’s hiking to get there rather than skateboarding.

This young performer was quite enterprising, inquiring how much I would be paid for the scavenger hunt photo. I think he was hoping for a percentage of profits. I’m happy to give him a percentage of pointlessness…

Another one I could satisfy close to home, as the Powhatan Springs skate park is just a mile from home. It was mostly kids at the park – no one in the deep bowls doing anything really exciting. Plus, I didn’t want to be a creepy old guy loitering and taking pictures of the kids skating. The closest I got to capturing any air was this kid jumping up out of a bowl.

Was this picture taken on a bike ride? _X_ Yes ___ No

Powhatan Springs Skatepark (Arlington, VA)
(It’s really hard to capture someone in mid-air. Great job all of you who did it so well.)
