Finding a place to get your thrash on away from the run of the mill skatepark can be difficult. Not only are you constantly on the lookout for business owners who will be angry with your activities, it seems as though cops are out just looking for someone to harass. What better persona to harass than someone with a skateboard.

A run in with the law usually involves the officers being over authoritative and sometimes even gruff.

Let’s examine what’s going on here and see if we can band together as skaters and truly support our local shops.

Let’s just go ahead and talk about the elephant in the room.  The internet.  I’m pretty certain that most of the problems associated with any locally based business can be attributed to the internet.  Just like video killed the radio star, the internet has absolutely destroyed local businesses. I might also add that there has been a resurgence in supporting local going on in urban areas across America.
