On Thursday last week, the Smithers Skatepark Society set up a pair of events to celebrate the recent completion of the Phase 3 expansion of the Smithers Skatepark.
The first event took up much of the later part of the morning and the early afternoon and was aptly called the Learn to Skate event, where members of the Skatepark Society gave out some tips to people who were either trying skateboarding for the first time or still trying to figure some things out.
And the later afternoon saw some pro skaters come down to park to put on a demonstration, with the headliner of those skaters being the legendary Tony Hawk.
Other athletes at the event included Lizzie Armonto, Mark McMorris and Grayson Fletcher.
