Skateboarders Turn Damaged Street Into Ramp After California Earthquake

Skateboarders Turn Damaged Street Into Ramp After California Earthquake

In the wake of the worst earthquake to hit the Bay Area in 25 years, some local skateboarders found a silver lining to an otherwise difficult day in Napa, California.

Early Sunday morning, a 6.0 magnitude quake hit about 6 miles from Napa, leaving 120 injured and thousands without power and water. The quake took a significant toll on some city infrastructure, including Napa's Meadowbook Lane, where the road buckled.

NBC Bay Area's Vicky Nguyen tweeted a photo of how the enterprising skateboarders made the most of the road damage:

NBC also shared video of the makeshift skate park:
