Friction between polyurethane wheels and concrete reported the locations of skaters as they whizzed around the Frederick Douglass Community Association during a recent practice session of the On Deck Alliance. Intermittent clacking of skateboard trucks told of the success or failure of each individual outfitted with helmets and kneepads. During these sessions, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. and again from 5:30 to 8 p.m., kids and coaches gather on the first floor of the community center, 1001 Indiana Ave. in central Toledo, and give their best attempt at balancing on top of a board in motion. “They’ve been looking forward to this for a while,” Jessica Lothery, 37, of South Toledo, said of her three children wanting to skateboard at a community event with On Deck Alliance. “It’s always good to experience positive things in the neighborhood. Sometimes I get excited and try to do a few tricks myself.”
