Skate at your own risk
COOS BAY - On his first day back at the Mingus Skateboard Park since smacking his head on concrete, Gregory Barber wanted to take things easy.
Still sore from his fall at the park, the Coos Bay resident recalled how he skated up a 10-foot-wall Sunday, attempted a "Rock 'n' Roll To Fakie" and on the way back down, clipped his board, and face-planted.

"My friends told me I was out for 10 seconds and that I was incoherent for 15 minutes," said the 21-year-old, who now has three stitches alongside his left eye.
