Taking it to the Whitehouse? Allowing Scooters in ALL Skateparks

It really doesn't matter who you are, if you've been in this sport long enough you've been to a skatepark before, and have probably gotten kicked out because you were on a Scooter. Now our sport has come a long way, but there are still way too many parks that don't allow scooters in them. How is our sport supposed to be seen as a legitimate action sport when we're not even allowed in skateparks alongside Bmx and Skateboarding? This is something that not only should change, but has to change.

Well the change has started, but it won't get anywhere unless we all take part. It doesn't take long guys, you head to the website, you register an account, and sign the petition. We need a lot of signatures here guys, and by a lot I mean like 25,000. Which means have your parents sign, not just you. You can have friends sign, anyone you can think of that would support what this means, should be asked to sign. It doesn't even matter if you're outside of the USA. With the sport growing as it is, we have hundreds of riders from outside of the USA coming here every year. How would you feel if you came all the way to the USA, and were denied entry to skateparks you wanted to ride? So no matter where you are, please take the time to sign.

Let's make this happen guys. We all constantly sit back and bitch and moan about how we're not accepted as a sport, how we get kicked out of skateparks, and the list goes on and on, well that isn't going to change with us just sitting behind our computer screens posting it on forums. Take five minutes of your time and show your support for the sport. Sign the petition.

Petition to Remove Scooter Ban at San Clemente Skatepark

Ok, now I know we have been successful with these kinds of things before on Inside-Scooters, and I’d like to see that happen again. At one of the most popular skateparks in Southern California, there is a “Ban” on scooters. The skatepark is San Clemente. Most riders are at least familiar with that skatepark, and we’ve seen quite a few edits from So Cal riders where that park is featured.

As most of you know, the sport of Scootering is huge in Southern California, and there is really no reason that a skatepark like San Clemente should be banning the use of scooters. Some of the local residents have tried to get the ban lifted, and sadly, it was a no go. So here is what we need to help make happen.

We need to try and get Scooters onto the California HRA (Hazardous Recreational Activities) List. What this will mean is that Scooter riding will be treated much like Skateboarding is now. Making this happen can be a really positive thing for our sport, not just in California, but in other states as well should people take this action. It takes like 5 minutes people.. support the sport that you’re a part of, and sign the petition below. Thanks guys.
