Last week, the city of San Clemente, California, decided to dump 37 tons of sand on a local skatepark in order to prevent kids from skating during the coronavirus lockdown. But just a few days later, local skaters were shredding again.
A group of determined skaters brought dustpans, shovels, and buckets to the park over the weekend in order to dig up the sand. Remarkably, by Sunday evening, much of the skatepark was usable.
The dig-up was filmed by motocross videographer Connor Ericsson, who headed over to the skatepark to help the effort and use the sand as a dirt bike course.
“Took advantage of all the sand the city dumped into the San Clemente skatepark then helped some local skaters dig it all out so they could do some social shredding,” read the caption of Ericsson’s Instagram post Sunday, which showed him riding his bike in the park and then digging up the sand.

The message from kids who only desire was to make use of their Skateboarding skills, certainly shows the importance of being able to formulate a sense of trust and good intentions between each other.. I saw this when I jus had to get a better sense of what was going on there

If people are so concerned about their health, then they shouldn’t have to drive over to there local ER Hospital & ask to see a person who is a carrier of the Virus…. They should jus stay away and at least stay Home…
