Most memorable incident / Biggest skating adventure: We were friends with the bike Police in Fredericksburg Texas let me start with that.... We were out one night skating and a few of the officers came riding by on bikes and a buddy of mine yelled out to one of the police officers. "Hey bet you can't catch us" and we take off. So we look back and the officers are chasing us. We ran them all the way across town before they got us stopped. Had some good times in Fredericksburg skating back in the day
