Sunburry PA kid skates in the dirt

Skaters poach BMX spots.

My friend Steve Grover has a theory that if you are over 30 and skateboard, you will eventually meet everyone else who is, or run into someone who knows them. This is not a strict application of that theory, but last night as I was trying to get in a few post-work runs at Pier Park before the sun drained, I ran into a recent transplant from Pennsylvania who just happened to be in Sunburry PA the day I took this picture of his friend Victor Koons. That would have been 2000 or 2001 when I went to Pennsylvania for Grover’s wedding. I was searching the hard drive for any other pictures I might have had from that session. I remember the shot of Victor was pretty much the only good one I got, but I did find this shot of a little kid who was barging the adjacent BMX track on his skateboard, and having a blast. I forgot the guy’s name I met last night. Dave maybe?
