Skateboarding And The Law

I've been busy of late, talking to skateboarders, those who would represent them and the associated industry. More American kids skate than play basketball "the national pastime". The golden age of skatepark construction seems to be upon us. Municipalities are finally providing well-lit places to skate, instead of just banning one of the few ways in which masses of teens actually get out and exercise.

Hot Springs, Arkansas, however, seems to be a little behind the zeitgeist. There is no skatepark there. On June 21, Go Skateboarding Day, some kids were skating in a downtown area where a ban is in place. Below is what happened next. There are still some places in need of an attitude change.
