So toay i herd about a local skate park called los altos...gogle it it is albuquerque new mexico...i get there with mt mom and i experiment do a few 180's grinds etc...so then i see a dip into a concrete wall im not sure what it is called but it goes flat and then into a half circle with a tall ledge at the top...i get going about ohh 10-15 mph not fast at all go in to it and then a lllte kid on a skateboard pops outta now where an i hit him. he fell started screaming and my mom jumps in the bowl with me to help get him out when all of the sudden a the kids mom come yelling dont touch my kid!!!!and they get him out and i get out of the bowl and then the mom goes thanks for breaking my sons leg and starts walkng of...the all of the extended family yea aunts and mom and a bunch of cousins start saying thanks for breaking the leg....so get already to leave b/c my mom is freakng out and i getto the car and start pulling of my front wheel to put in my bke when the aunt comes harrisng me sayng there is no bycycles aloowed even thought the park has a sculpture of a bmx bike outside and she starts saying im older i need to look out and im to young to be at the skate park. Well im 13 and the kid waas 8. Who's to young to be atthe skatepark...cince im older im gonna take blame. The she calls the cops and starts taking down my plates of the car so i put my sweatshirt over it and she says move it and i norged....she starts going off again and im trying to stay calm and not go off b/c i dont want to sseem like a dick or make the sport look bad. but really what are your guys's opins on litle kids at parks.

well it depends...if they are actually shreddin it up and riding, then its fine. but when i see little twerps with an attitude that would be better off riding on their driveway or jumping off curbs it pisses me off. the worst i've seen is kids playing tag in the middle of a park...so lame.

ya i know what u mean bout the little kids...
but its true, if they are good and are actually doing stuff, its awsome.
but its even worse when they all come with their possy, and just stand at the top of the starting ramp. makes me so UGHHH

Its fine as long as they know how to ride the park.

But if they think that they can go anywere anytime and think people will move for them then they can leave or ride the park when its not busy.

It happens, nothing new. You touch a mothers son and they'll flip. Little kids that don't know park etiquette are going to get hurt. Put two and two together and the outcome is your story.

Gotta love the parents who bring their 10 year old kids to learn how to stand up on their rollerblades in the middle of the bowl...
