Skateboarding Demonstration


A novelty for Northern Ireland as an American skateboarder rides Belfast's pavements, giving the public a rare glimpse of the action sport. He shows off his prowess to an appreciative audience, with a series of old-school spins and flips, and gives advice for locals looking to take up the sport.
