KICK FLIPPING: Skaters gather for session at unfinished skate park

Sawyer Young of Hooks, Texas, does a frontside grab over the channel Friday morning at the new skate park in downtown Texarkana, Texas. About a dozen local skaters couldn't wait until the official opening later this fall and had to try out the new skatingspot.

American Ramp Co., based in Joplin, Mo., employs skateboarders to design and construct the parks to insure an optimal end product. ARC is hoping to have its part done in the next week or two. But the city still has to build sidewalks and put up fencing and signs before the park will be officially open to the public. Weather permitting, the city is hoping for a mid-November opening.
