Riding to the extreme
Scotty Brooke, 17, of McHenry has scars on his elbows and shins that he has collected from falls while skateboarding in different skate parks around the county. One scab he reopened while skateboarding at the McHenry Zone Skate Park in Knox Park. The blood is just a necessary evil that Brooke brushes off in his 10 years of skateboarding.
What makes extreme sports such as skateboarding and wakeboarding appealing to youngsters is that they are not team sports, Brooke said. A person doesn’t have to be on an organized team, and there is a lot of individualism.
