Unless you ride a BMX bike. In that case, the city invites you to slide ledges and gap stairs on any city property. Consider them your own bike friendly skatepark.

Congratulations, skaters. Not that this, or anything, could ever erase the pain of centuries of oppression at the hands of a society that doesn't -- can't -- won't -- ever understand. Not truly understand, because to understand would be to pierce the veil of heartache that binds skaterdom together like a steel band of hurt and alienation. Peace, my brothers.

Not that any skater can ever feel peace after what's been done to you. Obviously. But you know what I mean.

Oh, piss off, Elenchos. It's just a golf course or tennis courts for young people. No harm, no foul. That's what parks are for.

Well, excuse me for remembering how hard it is for the skaters. Excuse me because I care. Maybe I care too much, that's all.
