Don’t Be A Skateboarding Jerk

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Skateboarders already have a bad reputation and it doesn’t help our cause when skate park patrons act so badly that their own park gets closed by the city!!

Seems a bunch of unruly kids repeatedly broke the rules at the local skate park in Burrillville, RI, and  enough complaints were made that, “after all options to resolve the bad conduct of the juveniles who frequent the park were unsuccessful”,  the park was shut down, according to town officials.

The Harrisville park is now off limits to skaters. Skateboard ramps and other equipment will be disassembled this month and put into storage until the spring. At that time, town officials will reevaluate the situation and decide whether or not to re-open the park.

What a waste! What idiots! We hope our customers who use the Indo Board to improve their skateboarding have enough sense to follow the rules at their own skate park and can act like mature and responsible citizens so we don’t see more skate parks closed!!

Skateboard Classes in Minnesota School

Battling a national childhood obesity crisis, Fridely Elementary School in Minnesota saw a need to structure physical education around activities kids enjoy and can take home with them and do after school in lieu of spending hours texting and surfing Web sites like Facebook so they’ve added a skateboarding class to the school’s curriculum!

Kids are more likely to stay active if they’re introduced to a sport or activity they like, said Eric Klassen, who cofounded Skate Pass, the Colorado-based firm that helped start the skating program for the school.

New Skateboard Park in Victoria Texas

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

For all of our skateboarding customers here at Buy-Indo-Boards.com who live in Texas, you’ll be happy to know that yesterday in Victoria, TX, more than 50 skateboarders and community members joined together for the official grand opening of  the city’s first skateboard park. The skate park has been “un-officially” open since December 2oth and has been popular with local skaters.

The city’s Director of Parks and Recreation, Doug Cochran, has been happily surprised by the skatepark’s popularity.

“Never in my wildest dreams would I envision it being like this,” Cochran said of the turnout. “I never thought I would see this many kids out here.”
