TRIKES, bikes ands skateboards were the preferred mode of transport for a flurry of youngsters who attended a novel initiative during the school holidays.

Several boys and girls willingly accepted the invitation of taking part in the Street Sport York skate park session staged at Tadcaster East Primary School.

While youngsters could bring along their own skateboard, bikes or in-line skates to the afternoon event, there was also a selection of trikes and boards, as well as safety kit available.

And the speed-seeking kids showed little hesitation and even less apprehension about putting all the equipment through powerful paces on a wide range of ramps provided by the Street Sport York organisers of the session.
