Been skateboarding for 15 years and have been arrested for it. Cops hate skateboarders and always have and always will. Why, i don't know I even know some cops who hang out by the skateparks just to cause trouble with the skateboarders which is crap because instead they could go bust that guy down the street slinging dope but rather "have fun" busting us. If you skate on public property they'll harrase you if you skate on your OWN property they'll harrase you...thats been done to me a few times. They judge you for what you are not who you are. I know sometimes it makes you wonder if you skate down the sidewalk you're going to jail and that just sucks because it's not a crime. I'm not going to say stay away from prime skating spots...just watch your back or skate with other skateboarders so someone can watch out. Don't skate on marked private property cause then you CAN go to jail. Just have fun or try to, don't let the man get you down.

No skateboarding is not a crime it is a way of life. To some people it may be a crime if you like wreck there stuff or vandalize something. This alos hapens a lot to people who skate in store parking lots. To me skate boarding is not a crime it is a carreer that is very fun to go into!!!!!!!!!! Peace Out

It'a pretty neat that you have something that you love doing, but try and do it in a not so reckless or dangerous way. There are a lot of old people around these days and if you are skating on footpaths or walkways where these people have to walk, it's best not to do it. When you get older your old bones are not as healthy as they use to be when you are younger, so if you get knocked over or fall, it takes for ever for our bones to heal and sometimes never heals well enough to be able to get around independantly again. You wouldn't want to knock down your own parents or grandparents would you, so just look upon all old people, like you would you own elderly family. You probably get yelled at because you have given them a scare or nearly knocked someone over. Just try to be more careful and caring about the older people around you. Just remember also that you will be an old person one day.

Society's attitude toward skateboarding has not changed since skateboarding began. Get used to it.

It is not a crime to skateboard. They should be happy that you are doing something athletic and not just standing around doing dope.

for the most part no. If you are endangering people around you or damaging property, yes. Just skate where it's allowed.
