A grass-roots skateboarding event is catching big air after only two years on the ground.
The second annual Show Off youth skate night rolled into the skate park at Thompson Community Centre on the weekend with more than double the amount of participants from its inaugural year.
As well as prizes for the skateboarding, the parents came out in force as well to enjoy a barbecue, DJ and a live graffiti exhibition.
The event is the brainchild of local skateboarder and community centre volunteer Timothy Rubenfeld, who was amazed at the progress of some of the skateboarders, aged 12 to 25, from last year.
It shows that the new skate park is being used and its great to see so many parents out supporting the event as well, said Rubenfeld.
And its great to see so many kids skills improving from what was on show last year.
For next year, Rubenfeld hopes the event gets even bigger and is looking at attracting some professional skateboarders out for a demo and perhaps pull in some more sponsors for even more prizes for the kids.
