Ridgefield Skating Session: Skills On Display

Evan Jones' friends at the skateboard park may call him "The Chipmonk" but the little guy has some big time moves.

In just four years, Jones has gone from a beginner to a skilled skater who teaches other kids during summer camp at the Prospect Street park.

The 13-year-old Ridgefield resident had the skate park all to himself Monday afternoon. Check out the video to see some of his moves.

Kids in town can also still sign up for the final skate boarding summer camp, "Ramp Camp," which runs from Aug. 12-16.

Connor Cosgrove, a 2012 Ridgefield High School graduate, also teaches at the camp. He works at the skate park too.

The camp is run through the town's Parks & Recreation Department. Visit its website, ridgefieldparksandrec.org, for more information.
