The first time I ever went to the Ben Soto Skatepark in Staten Island, I met Aidan, and six years later, at my last time at 5050 Skatepark, Aidan was with me. Although he scooters and I skate, Aidan has been my best friend throughout my time living in Staten Island. It’s crazy how a skatepark brings people together for the same reason, and its crazy how much the skatepark can impact ones life. The friends you make at the skatepark will be your best friends no matter how close or far away you are from them, for the rest of your life.
