[QUOTE="DDD, post: 432872, member: 35"] Sad to say...same true in our small community. Local parents who believed that their teens needed a "healthy" outlet for their energy managed to get a park constructed. Within six months most of those who went to the park were skaters and "users" primarily pot users. The term "skater dude" quickly became a negative label. Mind you, our teen was a droopy drawers drug user and alcoholic but he and his peers had no admiration for the "skater dudes". Makes sense?? Uh, no! I "think" that the "skater dudes" were and are maligned because they try to look All American while they break the law and it is more admired to look like a law breaker. As a parent...I can understand that seeing your clean cut kid head off with a skateboard probably makes you feel safer about their motives. I haven't heard of a "clean" skatepark. Sad. DDD [/QUOTE]
