Skateboarding is not a crike
Corporate america is takeing over skateboarding? Welcome to the real world, corporate america owns everything. I will say, I liked you message, until the end. It was a fitting tribute to what i'm sure was a great skae park.
As far as skateboarding not being allowed, it's because 90% of the skaters out there arn't carefull about where they skate. I get run into about once a week by skate board when their riders bail because they're trying to ride down the stairs i'm walking up. Responsibility comes first, then the privlidge will follow.
