thanks for the comment mister gangster repd.

Whoa. When I take my son to the park I take him to a spot that is not crowded and I stay with him so as people can see me (Im alot easier to see than him). I do not let him ride in the way of others.


Here is what happened at Hazard that day. We got there and everyone is skating the area by the bowl. No one is skating by the mini ramp, so he starts skating there (he is riding down the funbox and up the quarter pipe). He skated here for about 10 minutes with out a problem, when a kid (about 10yrs old) who was skating the other side of the park decided to come skate the area. He was skating close by and at one point went left instead of right (like he had been doing) and ran into my son. In all honesty it was an accident, however he chose to place the blame on my son and go get his mom. So I moved him over to the mini ramp where no one is skating and we are fine till the little shit and his little friends come over and start dropping in on him. So we move again.

During this the little tard's parents as well as the parents of his friends are all gathered in the corner watching and talking shit (my wife was near them and overheard some of it) about how all the other kids (not just my son) need to get out of the way so their kids can ride (as if they own the place and everyone else is merely a nuisance).

This wasnt a case of my son skating where he shouldnt have, this was a case of a bunch of spoiled little kids acting as if the were entitled to have the entire park to themselves and parents who are reinforcing that belief. They all were riding Hazard decks so I know they are all local, and I know they will always be there so I choose not to go back.
