I fully support the construction of more skate parks and skating facilities in our cities and parks, but in doing so it would be nice to see the gesture returned in that they have the respect not to skate on utilities not allocated for doing so.
Honestly!

I've taken to purposely walking into the path of offending skateboarders to subconsciously deliver the message that they're welcome to take their vandalism elsewhere. Yes, kidz, in some place skate-boarding IS a crime. Now bugger off.
