$ Pay To Skate $

Why is it that whenever someone calls you to skate you have spend 10 bucks to get into some daycare facility with ramps, or drive a half hour or more to skate a pre-fabricated park which is probably within .5 miles of a police station. I'm tired of driving to dumb ass skate parks and shelling out the dough for private ones.

When I first started skating there were no city skateparks and the closest, Chenga World (the original) R.I.P. was an hour and a half away. I had a lot of fun skating strip malls, getting hasseled by store owners, and when kicked out of every spot, building a ramp, box or perhaps relaxing with a bong and a blitz. I mean we used to have fun with just a wooden skid to ollie over and a nice curb. What happened! That's best part of skating rolling out onto your street and letting the stunt wood take you on a trip, no gas needed. I call on all skaters to boycott city skateparks (unless they are really good) and private parks (no exceptions unless there is percipitation involved) and save your money for more important "green stuff."

Unless of course it's winter in ohio and you haven't skated in 2 weeks. Then I would advise rollin up a fatty, filling the tank, suck it up and pay to skate.

The reason is because you are still living in the hinterland. Get out to a more civilized place and you will see that things can be better. Free city parks are great places to skate daily. Skating street on the regular is very damaging to your equipment and costs much cash too.
