This corner is out my office window. I have watched the skaters there and admired the healthy aspects of what they are doing and I have watched other people trying to clean all the black marks off the white stone. The skating really does damage the wall, both by leaving marks and by wearing down the edges. Additional wear happens when they try to clean up the marks. The new metal bits they have recently installed are also ugly and could be viewed as damage to the wall. I too wish for a solution like a new generation of less damaging skateboards or more good places for skateboarding. Perhaps builders could also consider choosing materials that are not so easily damaged by skateboards.

Regularly spaced metal tabs? C’mon. Obstacle should be more challenging to skateboarders so that it’s more like living a violent video game. Obstacle should be long and sharp so as to avoid being impaled. Or install a low hanging iron bar now and then so as to avoid being knocked unconscious. Where’s the imagination?

As in, “That rules, dude!” or “Remember the rules, kids.” ?
