Pro Skateboarder, Students Share Skills With Seniors In Murrieta
Professional skateboarder Kurtis Colamonico on Monday led a skateboarding demonstration for Vineyard Place residents.
MURRIETA, CA — Riding a skateboard might not be for everyone, but that did not stop residents of Murrieta's Vineyard Place from getting in on the fun.
On Monday, former professional skateboarder Kurtis Colamonico and three of his Skate Kids students showed out for memory care residents, who responded in kind with homemade skate-themed decor and cheers.
Jodi Cornman, senior community relations director for Vineyard Place, said offering exciting experiences helps residents thrive.
“Our residents thrive on new experiences and this will be an exciting introduction to a fast-growing sport,” Cornman said in a statement. “The skateboarders can expect an enthusiastic and appreciative audience.”
Videos of residents enjoying the skateboarding demonstration can be seen on Vineyard Place's Facebook page.
