We've been hearing that the Skate Barge was coming and Friday afternoon it showed up. The Skate Barge is the idea of avid Twin Cities skate boarders who decided they'd done about everything possible on the river except skate board. Finally they pitched this wild idea to Red Bull who said yes, maybe because Red Bull had such a great experience withe Flugtag here in 2010.
When I was driving home on Friday afternoon I practically blinded by bright lights from the barge. The angle was simply wrong as one came driving down the hill towards the river. I parked in the garage and then walked down to discover some one was shooting video and that's why the bright lights were on.
Saturday I walked down the trail to watch a bit of the action.
The barge left this afternoon bound for the Quad Cities area. It ends up in New Orleans in early October.
