Nearly 40 young enthusiasts turned up for the skate-a-thon in Keith at the weekend.
The event in Cuthill Park on Saturday was held to raise money for K.E.R.B.S.
Originally this stood for Keith Rollerbladers, BMX and Skateboarders.
However, it's scooters that are all the rage at the moment.
June Youngson, who got involved with K.E.R.B.S last year, said: "The skate park is really well used, so we held the day to raise cash for any maintenance that needs doing.
"It was fairly drizzly at the start, so we were thinking of postponing of things.
"But so many young people came along and they were so enthusiastic, that we decided to go ahead after all.
"Because it was wet, it was too dangerous to go over the ramps, so they concentrated on doing laps of the park at first.
"It cleared up though after an hour or so."
The participants ranged in age from just all the way up to teenagers. The total raised from this year's event is still to be confirmed.
The day also saw a competition to design a logo for K.E.R.B.S.
This was won by Mylene Logan, who's just started at Keith Grammar.
More adults are needed to join the skatepark's committee. Anyone interested in volunteering their services is asked to make contact via the group's Facebook page.
