The two following are connected with Mark KNIBBS of Farminton, Connecticut, USA, descended from James Knibbs b. 1828 at Clifton, Oxfordshire. Published on August 1, 1998 in The Hartford Courant With a burst of speed, Mark Knibbs hit the concrete ramp and went soaring skyward. Seven or 8 feet above the ground he turned and came down, landing on his trusty Rollerblades and skating away. His was only one of an amazing display of aerial feats Friday afternoon in front of town leaders who gathered to officially open Farmington's long-awaited skate park in the parking lot of a former industrial building at 1451 New Britain Ave. There were some gasps from the audience Mark tells me that he was asked to do a demo for the newspaper to show what the new skateboard park was all about. That was 6 years ago! Mark has now advanced to more powerful wheels.
