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.
