There was some brouhaha about virtual reality skating on the Viet Nam Veteran’s memorial in Tony Hawks Project 8. I can’t be sure about reactions to skating on the monument to fallen defenders in what the locals call the Homeland War in Croatia. Of course, it’s a different kind of memorial. The Wall is more like a giant tombstone, while this one is more of an undefined usable public space. I mean, you wouldn’t get mad at that little kid for laying on it, so skating on it isn’t that far of a stretch. Reminds me of a monument to capitalism in Michigan.

that ribbed area looks like it would take some raw strength to conquer to hit the wallride, the same kind of raw strength available next doors in the form of a delicious bbq covered McRibb…mmhhhh.

I think the Mac. is located next to the monument…Let’s not turn things around.
Monument is a beautiful metaphore;
If skating is freedom and war is taking away your freedom….
Long runway asks for a high wallride attempt,but the ribbed area,…aah.

This monument to fallen defenders is located right next door to a macdonalds?….hilarious. The sidewalks are even on axis with the front doors.
