Controlling Motion Assignment

Duncan Graham, 23, skateboards outside the Communications and Academic West buildings. This is his favorite spot to skate. He said he likes the spot because it is low impact if he falls and he has room to do his tricks. The only time he does not like this area is when classes get out because there is too many people, he said. Graham said he started skating about ten years ago when his mom traded piano lessons for his first skateboard. Since then he said he has had hundreds of boards—and pairs of shoes. His most serious injury was a fractured fibula, which kept him from skating for two to three months, he said. “Most everything [else] has been flesh wounds,’ he said. “And a lot of them.”
