One of the highlights of #summer for me is getting to #connect with the youth at the @bellevueskatepark #skatecamp. Aside from the incredible indoor and outdoor skateparks we have in our city, the main reason the vibe is so sick is due to the awesome staff. I’ve said it before, but @moormansmenu and @mewnyewnit make everyone feel welcome to skate, including old cops like me. Josh (fluorescent yellow shirt & tan shorts) is a pro skater who rides for @thekillingfloor and is one of the best things about our #community. Imagine learning how to play ? from someone in the NBA, or ? from someone in the NFL, that’s what these kids get daily. Josh is super humble, so the kids have no idea ?. Someone in camp always asks me what board I ride, and when I say “Josh’s board,” the next question is: “How come you don’t use your own board?” I have to explain it’s his pro model that I skate and the look on their face when they figure it out is priceless every time. The vibe he creates gets filtered down to the other awesome skate staff like @thefeedingofthe5000, @natetrahan and @cardiacrush, making this camp one of the best in the country for sure. I really feel like together, we’re changing the game! #blessed ??⚫️?⚫️? ? @jeffkaale ** our holsters have multiple retentions and the HK USP (my firearm) has two internal safeties so a round being discharged from impact is not possible** #bellevue #police #skateboarding #taildrop #oldman #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #supportlocal #skatelikeacop #oahugrown #aiea #fitness #skateweeklyorskateweakly #protectbellevuedotcom
