About 20 skaters of various ages took to Route 60 in Milton, WV on Sunday, September 25, 2011 to compete in the Milton Mile, a one mile push race organized by Marc's Board Shop. Prizes were awarded in both new school and longboard/unlimited classes. The event took place just before the Pumpkin Festival parade, and was an overall success which left organizers feeling optimistic about this being a recurring event. The four lanes of US Route 60 were blocked off thirty minutes before the parade, providing a window of opportunity as well as an open safe course lined with hundreds of spectators.

Shit talking! Thanks for stopping by. Despite any uncanny resemblance, the kid at the race is way cooler than the "I like turtles" kid.

Skateosauria- Thanks, these are actually ones I took and not ones I borrowed. You made it around quick, I know that much, real good stuff!
