Mr. Sparks:
It was a beautiful day

in downtown City Town.

The sun was shining,
the birds were singing...

and skaters
were catching some air

at the gnarly
new skateboard park!

Meanwhile, at Hero Elementary,

another grand opening
is underway.

- Whoa!

You made me a skateboard?

- A rocket-boosted,
self-balancing skateboard.

- Thanks, AJ!
Now I can learn how to skate!

- Just in time
to use the new skate park.
