| Skateboarding park to open in Fallbrook today - San Diego Union-Tribune Posted: 06 Nov 2010 05:27 AM PDT Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 6 a.m. FALLBROOK — Fallbrook skateboarders will finally have a space to ride when a temporary skatepark opens today at the Boys & Girls Club. The wooden skatepark is the work of Fallbrook Skatepark Inc., a nonprofit that has been working for several years to provide local skateboarders with a dedicated facility. "Our goal is provide a safe and legal place for kids to skate," said Michelle Albanna, secretary and treasurer of Fallbrook Skatepark Inc. "Others would have liked us to wait for a permanent park, but there are many kids who have stopped skating because they were unable to." Skatepark Inc. wants to build a permanent park in the future. Albanna said skaters must pay for a $30 annual membership and a $1 daily skate fee. Nonmembers may also skate for a $5 daily fee. Helmets are mandatory. Registration will begin 9:30 a.m. today at the club. Children 17 or younger must have a parent present to sign the membership form. The skatepark will operate from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Friday during the school year and 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and summer weekdays. The Boys & Girls Club is on East Ivy St. by the Fallbrook Union Elementary School.

| Made in St. Louis: Friends mix passion for skateboarding, art - St. Louis Post-Dispatch Posted: 05 Nov 2010 09:20 PM PDT www.STLtoday.com | | Posted: Sunday, November 7, 2010 12:00 am Nathan Motsinger and Kyle Van de Voorde have been best friends for several years. They graduated from Highland High School in 2004. Their business started about three months ago. Nathan was working on paintings and drawings for school projects, and they decided to try these designs on skateboard decks. • What kind of paints are used in your process? Nathan: We start with a sketch or pencil design on the skateboard. Then we paint with acrylics and spray paints. Finally, we add a polyurethane gloss finish. A couple of days later, the skateboard is ready for action or the board makes a great gift idea for hanging in a bedroom or living room. • Do you boys skate? Nathan: When I was younger, I did my share of skateboarding. But, I had an accident and decided it was a little bit too dangerous for me. I still have a passion for skateboarding. Kyle: During my spare time, I've been skateboarding. • Where did the inspiration come from? Nathan: We had a best friend who passed away about a year ago. We both decided to live each day expressing our creative side. Kyle and I have a passion for action sports and the arts. • What do you do in your spare time? Nathan: I'm an artist and majoring in 2D art. I attend Eastern Illinois University and will graduate in December with a bachelor in fine arts. Kyle: I spend most of my time with my 14-month-old girl, Charleigh. We hang out when I'm not in school. I attend Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and my major is business management. I'll graduate next year. • What are your future plans? Nathan: Kyle and I love to work with kids. We're hoping to plan skateboarding camps and skateboarding contests. • Skateboard prices? Nathan: Skateboard designs run about $60, and a personalized design is $80.
