We heard from students
that there was a skatepark just down the street, so after the last show
we packed things up and headed on over. We didn't even get 5 minutes
into the session before someone called the cops... Turns out they don't
allow bikes at this park. I'll be writing a more detailed story on the
site in the near future that outlines how that promotes discrimination
and seggregation. We need to enlighten cities to the fact that public
parks, truely need to be open to the public! This city could have the
next Dave Mirra growing up right next door to this park, but we'll never
get to find out, because this city decided not to allow this kid to
follow his dreams...
Lucky for us, there were some dirt jumps adjacent
to the park, and we have pro dirt jumper Loren Lavern with us, so it
wasn't a total loss... |
