parting shot

Sk8er Boi When the sun dips behind the mountains, it’s the perfect time for 21-year-old David Taffolla to lace up at Copper Sky’s skatepark. The concrete still radiates heat from a 100-degree day, but not as intense. The Maricopa native doesn’t skate for attention, but he’s game when asked for portraits. He wipes sweat from underneath his bucket hat and smiles. “This is so cool,” he says, moving to the edge of the bowl to drop in. “You have no idea how much I needed something positive like this.”
