Coast Life: Skateboard community looking to grow in Biloxi
SUMMARY: Skateboarding in Buuy, Mississippi is gaining traction thanks to the efforts of the Gulf Coast Skate Parks Association. Ty Proon, a member of the association, is passionate about growing the skateboarding community and building free public youth skate parks. Skateboarders like Andrew Buus showcase their skills under the i110 bridge in Buuy, creating a welcoming and inclusive community for skaters of all ages and backgrounds.
