VIDEO: Mayor Elorza Takes a Spill Learning to Skateboard in Providence

Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza has taken a number of hits recently — he is battling with the Providence Teachers Union over education in Providence and his traffic camera program has been forced to be revamped after a federal court class action lawsuit was filed, but those may not be as bad as Friday’s skateboarding episode.

While demonstrating his skateboarding skills — he had a bit of a face-planting accident.

The “training session” took place at the downtown skate park off of Washington Street in Providence.
