LA All Day’s own Tracy White got partnered up with his hometown parks department, and the latest result is a new skatepark, blading clinics for the lil’ rippers-to-be, and the Bearings & Bruises comp on August 7th, presented by the Rockford Park District.org and Fat Wallet.com. It’s $5 to skate the event, all participants get a B&B t-shirt designed by Carlos Kessell, and each skater under-17 is entered in a raffle to win a free week visit to Woodward. Since Tracy lives in LA and this event is in Illinois, BCSD organizer Daniel Kinney was called in to lend a helping hand. Given what these two guys have accomplished for their own events, we’re excited to see what comes out of this effort. If you are in the area, or have nothing to do on the 9th, you should definitely get to Bearings & Bruises to show your dedication to a new generation of skaters. — ONE
