Quote: think it is great thing. Granted there are some complaints of skaters using private parking lots and stairwells and such, but I believe that could be helped by creating some public skate friendly places.
Unfortunately some (not all) skateboarders not only invade public and private property, but destroy public and private property. I can respect kids who lobby and do fundraising for Skateboard Parks, but I have no sympathy with vandals.
Even worse than the vandalism is the view of a few that because there are no places dedicated to skateboarding in their neighborhoods that they are entitled to destroy the property of others.
Further, in this age of Obesity, you have to control the condiments that the kids spread on their combustible skateboards. Too much fat can be deadly, a slow poison.
