Team FacePlant Skate Demo.
A friend of ours, Eric Nelson, formerly of The New Divide and currently the youth pastor at a church in Woodland, WA invited a group of us from Team FacePlant to put on a demo at a school in downtown Vancouver. I guess he is also on staff at a day camp for younger children this summer. We agreed and on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 we loaded up the spine, a box and a rail and drove downtown and put on a demo for two sessions of children, one hour each session. Josh, Collin, Brian, Victor, Caleb, Brandon, Jonas and I, along with Andrew and Paul were able to make it to the demo. Because it is through the public school, we weren't allow to openly share our faith, but we did tell them that we were from FacePlant Ministries Skate Church. We got to tell them who we are and how we got into skating. We were able to teach them what the names of certain tricks are as well as free skate on all the obstacles. We also had a question and answer time with the kids. Overall, I believe that we were well received and were able to show how skateboarding can be a positive thing. We were also able to teach the kids about how importanat it is to be safe while skateboarding. Thanks Eric for letting us come out and skate for the children.
