Picture of The Day: A Perfect Day at The Dalles Skate Park
By Joshuah Albert
The Dalles, Ore., May 16, 2024 – May 15th was one of those perfect days in The Dalles.
The sun was shining. Everyone out enjoying the weather.
Naturally, the skate park was buzzing with activity.
Among the skaters, Nick Rios stood out. He had traveled all the way from Milwaukie, Ore., with six of his friends just to spend the day here to run the rails and ramps.
Nick's been skateboarding for 21 years, and it shows.
"I think I'm alright when it comes to tricks," he said with a grin. "Now watch me get some air off this."
And with that, he was off, soaring and grinding across the park like he was born with a skateboard under his feet.
"It's a great way to get some exercise and also a cure for boredom," Nick shared, catching his breath after catching three feet of air off a ramp. The park was alive with the sounds of wheels on concrete and the cheers of skaters encouraging each other.
The Dalles Skate Park remains a favorite spot, welcoming skaters from all over to enjoy the ride and the warm community vibe.
