A group of local skateboarding enthusiasts gathered recently to talk about the importance of their sport, the highs and lows, as they continue to skate, despite the crime in the area.

These skaters roll along, using their sport as a fundamental character building experience; kids can learn discipline, tenacity, and skating as a building block for enhanced motor skills.


If you are interested in learning to skate, Skate Erie is located at the corner of Cherry and West 15th Street in the City of Erie.
