wow it has been a while...ok this weeks topic is kids at the park that dont skate (aka Posers).this reporter has come to a few conclusions over the last few weeks of obsevation. I have noticed kids at the park who have boards but don't skate...first and foremost how could have a board and not skate? wow that really gets me. So these kids have boards but cant do a single trick. no offense to the kiddies just getting into skateboarding who can't do any tricks(you guys and girls are trying)yet.I'm talking about the kids who sit on the ramps and benches ALL DAY. the same kids you have to tell to move everytime you want to skate an obsticle. these kids get boards from (very cool) parents for birthdays easter and other various holidays but really don't have the desire to skate. they are there taking up space basically. they sit and drink red bull and smoke ciggarettes and get in my way. Does this happen at other skate parks? I started letting my board hit them insted of telling them to move. You know kick out my board at them ,run into them on purpose, and just basiclly make them feel unwanted. It's a little harsh i know but they are breathing my fellow skaters air. they look like poster boys for CCS. Don't get me wrong CCS is good for the kids who don't have a skate shop in their town. But if you do you should be getting your stuff there or sooner or later the shop will close and the next time you need a bearing it wont be there you will be waitin 6 weeks for those black panthers.Does this bother anyone else?? does this happen at your skate park? suggestions on what to do? let me know peace and ROLL forever(not sit on your board forever)
its not the posers that are the problem its the spectators. at my old park there was a water park near by. it was good since we could cool of there but there was always little kids who thaught skating was cool and wanted to watch. they would sit on boxs, rails ,copings and whatever else they could sit on. then even worse they would slid down into the bowls (wet) and play in there. the posers werent a problem because they want your respect ( why do you think they have boards?) just tell them to get out.
word we have the same problem with kids in our park> i'm a little older, so i would go to the parents and say "hey you son/daughter could get really hurt here" or "hey there is a play ground over there get your kids off the ramps and other obsticals please" this might seem a little pussy to some but this works.Also, remember these parents pay the taxes that fund the parks' upkeep. and they are on city councils that open new parks or allocate money for park spending. you never know who you are talking to. If you were to cuss one of these parents out you might come tto the park the next day and there will be chains on the ramps and the obsticals might be destroyed...i have seen it happen. now the kids , the teenagers ...no mercy. scream on those fools. if that don't work get into some gangta shit! peace and thanks for the reply homies.
people who skate always come in my park and just chill on the boxes and never seem to move when you tell them to.
plus, since i like in a shitty town,
if its like...two other people at the skatepark because you went at 12 on a thursday morning,
then gangsters roll in and beat the shit out of you.
feels bad man
damn son. Sorry to hear that. Wanna be gangstas and real gangstas suck. I live in west Baltimore MD trust me i know. if i was you i hit up those street spots! f that park. skate atreet.
get some pepper spray at the license plate office, if you have to be 18 where you live get someone else to
you spray someone with pepper spray and they are not gonna fuck with you
tasers are legal as well
pepper spray and tasers might be a good idea. i have found most kids, maybe not you and your homies, that carry that stuff talk mad shit because they know they can put you on your ass or blind you. so use descresion if this is the route you choose to go with it.....remember real bad boys roll in silence. walk quiet and carry a big stick...you could also try rolling MOB DEEP to park. like 10-20 deep. the little wanna be gangstas won't do nothing but talk if you guys are that deep. plus you guys should be homies anyway we are all family. all of us who skate we should always have each others backs no matter what.
peace and I hope the situation at your park gets better.
thanks for the reply!
J-holla out
here in bristol CT, we just got a skatepark out here, plaza style real nice....Kid's get outta school, so they can fight all the puerto ricans who show up in tim's w/ wal mart scooters ( no rasicm intended), and mad people gettin in the way, so we just cuss em out. They already sit on the ledge's, and dick around on there mongooses, doin wheelie pops. Then the little kids get pissed cause we bitch about them, they hear us. get upset and leave. its frustrating trying to get a "good clip" out there today. Kid's aint gonna get nowhere, and why do people go to skatepark's to just sit down, do that shit and home watch a skate video then go down to the local park and drop hammer's, and also one more thing, mad kids in CT like to spray paint so that gets us kicked out aswell, i could go for days.....
tell the kids sitting to go home and get off the park if they didn't come to skate. You roll through a couple of them , let your board hit a few of them, they will get the idea and move. trust me.
ive been to that park too and once everyone was watching a session going down on the dirt gap and the outof nowhere a little kid on a scooter who was like 4 years old runs in front of the bottom and the kid skating hit the kid at the bottom.
Drake recreational park in West Bloomfield Michigan is another victim of the poser posters,
I drive a good 45 fucking minutes to my park and its just a snake session the entire time because of dumb fucking children,
If its not one spot its the other, they post in front of the obstacle doing like shuv's and shit thinking their killing it like Holland said,
Im going with him on this one and taking affirmative action towards the ass wipes that snake my session...
Don't get me wrong I smoke trees and squares and drink etc there but thats not all I do, I SKATE at a SKATEPARK not shoot the shit and be gay...Game over son Im out
