California officials who recently filled a skate park with 37 tons of sand to enforce social distancing rules had their plan backfire on them when dirt bikers showed up instead.
A video posted to Instagram shows riders at Ralph’s Skate Court in San Clemente.

“The fact the city put the sand in there to try to social distance everyone – I think it’s a big joke,” Connor Ericsson, who posted the video, told KUSI News. “These kids are cooped up inside their houses, they just want to go to the skate park and have some fun.”
Another video on his account shows people shoveling the sand into buckets.
“As soon as the skaters showed up, we got a broom and a shovel and we helped them sweep that thing out, get the sand out there so they could do a little social shredding themselves,” Ericsson said.
The parks in San Clemente were originally closed on April 1 to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. The sand was added after people continued to skate in the park.
“It appeared the closure was not being abided by,” said Samantha Wylie, the city’s parks manager.
