Edenvale resident Craig Evans, who is also a member of the Sixteen Turns, was among the scores of skaters who converged at the Stoneridge skate park on April 30 for the Skateboarding for Hope campaign.
“The event brings skaters from all over the country together in one place. Skaters, who have been in the game for some time, skate with those from underprivileged communities. We share tricks to master the game with them,” he said.
Craig started skating in 2010.
“I was about eight or nine years old and my parents bought me the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. I could not do anything but play it. It was the coolest thing in the world. I asked my parents to buy me a board and I started skating with my friends,” he said.
“To master this sport takes a lot of practice. My friends push me to do better. By learning more tricks, you gain more confidence,” he said.
