Showing off scooter skills and performing tricks before a three-judge panel, about 40 contestants took part in the second annual Rusch Park scooter competition over the weekend.
“This is a great opportunity for kids in non-traditional sports to get out and show their skills,” said organizer Charles Stone, who was billed as “the brainchild” behind the competition.
The four-hour Saturday event was open to contestants 18 and under, with participants competing for prizes and the opportunity to win gold, silver and bronze medals for performing tricks like “whip-front scooter flip” and “buttercup.”
Victor Rodriguez, with the Sunrise Recreation and Park District, reported no injuries took place during the event, and said he hopes to host the competition two times a year in the near future.
The event was sponsored by the Citrus Heights Police Activities League and the park district.
