that sucks, the only thing I think we cant do is eat in the skatepark, also we must wear a helmet which is not that big deal really. We have 2 indoor I think and 2 or 3 out door skateparks around here.

Ugh.. our skatepark is really fucked up. The location is really good. Volleyball courts pool park police sta... skratch that last one... yeah so like I said the location is great. It's okay for beginners but you gatta go there at like 8 cos around 10 all these kids come and it's so small. All our ramps are fucked over now to.

I have a skatepark about 10 minutes away and it's quite shit. aaron knows of this. it was burned down once through vandalism. it only has a few ramps and a pussy halfpipe. it was built right in front of this cops house. so you can guess what happens most of the time. one time this dude and old lady ran a fundrasier to get more stuff built for it and they just opened their own shop that hardly gets any business. or so I think. I'd never go to that shop.
