00:00:23.960 - 00:00:45.410

I like the skating and how they have the event. How they have the basketball court. It all just comes together. How long have you been coming here? Oh, for about I want to say a month. Did you learn how to skate here?

00:00:46.130 - 00:01:06.240

No, actually on the other side. Okay. All right. What do you like about the skating? That you can just express yourself. If you fall, it's okay. Nobody makes fun of you. They help you up and you get another turn. You learn any tricks from anybody out there?

00:01:06.630 - 00:01:15.840

No. But I hope I will. Who's your favorite skater out there? I don't really know yet. You see some good ones though?

00:01:15.990 - 00:01:32.230

Yeah. Tell me about the music. Do you like the music? Yeah, but they should put a little more gogo in it. What grade are you in?

00:01:32.710 - 00:01:44.130

I am a fourth grader at DC Prep. Are you looking forward to the new school year? Yes, I am. And what are you going to tell your friends about this place?

00:01:44.930 - 00:02:21.330

They should come and see here. It's amazing. And don't say hey, I'm looking at you guys. If you ever feel the need to come skating, this is the spot. Love you guys. Tell me one other thing. Who'd you come out here tonight with? My mom. I'm going to call out to my mom. Hey, Mom. Come here. Can you go get her for me? Who else? Does she come out here to skate a lot too?

00:02:21.300 - 00:02:46.080

Yeah. Now do you want to tell me anything else? Like what else you want to leave your listening audience with? I think that's it. Alright, thank you so much. I appreciate your time. When we get it all done, we'll get you this video. All right? Thank you.

00:02:46.110 - 00:02:46.950

Thank you.
