He stated, “I don’t even let KIDS in here with their skateboards.” This response baffled me as I am 30 years old, and less likely to screw things up than a kid.

Needless to say, we ate elsewhere.

You can't turn the board when you're pushing, and your arms get really tired. Looks wacky, too. The little kids don't even notice, though... That's what happens when government legislates skating... forced kookiness.</p> Yeah Nik, it’s a real hassle to skate in Portland now that the cops are enforcing the “arms-out, mongo” rule on skate routes.
