Elliott has been coming to the park with his brother for 6 years. He is a founding member of the local grom crew, The Swanky Squad. He is a flat ground wizard and can do a bunch of weird flip tricks. Elliott and his family will soon be moving out of the area. We will miss them but wish them the best in their new spot.
