Yeah, and also tell them it will be a place where the police can keep an eye on the skater kids. :(
There's a new skatepark on my block, and now there are twice as many police patrols.

If you do get it, it is important that you invlove yourselves and other who would use it in the planning and layout of the ramps. Our town got one about 5 years ago and while it was much appreciated the layout wasnt exactly the best.

Good luck.

sounds like your cops have nothing to do. that shit piss's me off. if anything the cops should be happy there not "tearing" up buisnesses and leave them the fuck alone.

I've participated in countless numbers of walk for the cures and similar events...That's all I have gave back to Society, however I do several each year. I'm not sure if I have made a real difference yet. :wtf:
