sunday skateboarding

 

 

Skateboarding is a popular pastime.  Supposedly it came about in the 1950s because the California surfers wanted something to surf when the waves were flat.  Lubbock is an ideal location -  it's flat and the waves are miles away.  I found this group of guys practicing their moves in the alley off Avenue J and Broadway.  I'm thinking crashing on the waves is probably less painful than bouncing off bricks.
