A city park, a few blocks up River Avenue from Dugout, has a layout for skateboarders and bikes.

The tour includes BMX and skateboard competition, televised by NBC Universal. Competitors, like MLB pitchers, reach into the 40's. LPR is not aware that the exploits of these athletes are termed feats of "derring-dew." [Sorry.]
