What are you doing on 'Go Skateboarding Day?'

[angrypork]

I skated a tiny park for a couple of hours with some friends. It was a pretty fun time. It was more like half skateboarding/half sit around and chill while drinking those tall, .99 cent cans of Arizona. Still fun nonetheless.

It took me a few re-reads to understand that you were saying it had rained and not that you wet the bed (I hope)

it did dry up (thankfully) and I did some back lips on ledges. thankfully I did not wet the bed (at least not that night)

Go skateboarding day in Arkansas...this cop is mad crazy.

I fucking HATE cops.

Fucking pigs. Overzealous mothefuckers busting 13 year olds (including girls) with excessive force cause they don't want to stop real crime.

Shit like that really boils my blood. Fortunately they got it on tape. Without that evidence the cop wouldn't get into any trouble. Who knows if he will get in any trouble, this is the south.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) - Hot Springs police have placed an officer on

administrative leave while they investigate an Internet video that appears

to show him choking three youths who were skateboarding in violation of a city ordinance.

Mayor Mike Bush says investigators have talked with passers-by and business

owners who saw Officer Joey Williams stop the young people on a downtown

sidewalk Thursday. A YouTube video shows Williams apparently choking one youth

after forcing him to the ground, while later chasing and wrestling two others

while holding them in a headlock.

In all, police say six youths were involved — three 16-year-olds, 1-13-year-old,

one 19-year-old and one 21-year-old.

Bush says he does not condone the officer’s actions.

Williams did not return calls for comment.

The video shows the youths along Hot Springs’ Central Avenue, an area where the

city has banned skateboarding. Voices in the background can be heard asking

Williams why he was arresting the youths.

bump.

anyone doing anything good today? anyone going to wild in the streets? I might go to this or just go street skating, I'm not really sure, but I'm psyched either way!

man I wish I had a skateboard... the best I can do is hit up my friend and see if I can use his. but while we're on the topic, and now that I've got a job, I really want to spring for a sector 9 with turning trucks -- unless there's something better?

I you're getting a longboard do not get a sector nine, especially with the stock trucks.
