John Norsen, an environmental biology student, drops in at the Fort Lewis College mini-ramp. Located behind the Center of Southwest Studies building, students attend the park to have fun with friends after classes, he said. 

Norsen locks into a trick.

An accidental weight-shift sends Norsen falling to his back. While skateboarding can be a challenge, Norsen says, he isn’t finished. “I’ve got to do this now,” he said. “Falling pushes me to be better.”
