Local skateboarders like Marcie Morgan sometimes train in the Mount Rainier National Park area. When skaters like Morgan go out to practice, they start by scoping out the road – learning how it twists and turns, clearing obstacles like gravel or branches. Low-traffic, one-way roads are ideal and worth taking long drives, she said. Despite your best efforts, you will fall, like Morgan did at a recent qualifier race in Vermont. “I’m fine,” she said: “I banged up my knee a little, but as we say in this sport, if you’re not falling, you’re not learning.” Photo by Alex Bruell.
