Skaters beat the cold, snow at Wheel House demo Saturday in Carson City
The Wheel House in Carson City was the place to be Saturday afternoon for skateboarders, scooter riders and fans of the wheeled sports.
Suffix Team Skate was visiting at The Wheel House, 291 Rhodes Street in Carson City, where it put on a free demo skate that runs until 8 p.m. Saturday.
All ages participated in the skate demo, getting a workout on the indoor half-pipe inside The Wheel House.
Owners Teak Dopf and Matthew Bartak said the free community event fits with their long-term vision for The Wheel House.
"This is what we want to bring to the community," Dopf said. "We want to do more events like this."
Bartak said Chipotle Grill in Carson City donated fresh hot food for the free community skating event, a gesture he said The Wheel House and all of its skaters are grateful for.
"They came to us and wanted to help us put this on," he said.
It's this sort of community support that Dopf and Bartak said will lead to more events like the Saturday demo.
The Suffix Team Skate Demo runs until 8 p.m. tonight at The Wheel House. Get there and skate while you can.
