    I hate it when I have to look a word up in the dictionary and the definition contains a word I don’t know…

    Renaming an ollie on vert to belittle it is like calling your father the sperm donor.

    Besides, ollies were invented on vert…let’s rename flat-land ollies…I nominate “pee-pants”…nollies can be “wee-pants”….”Dude, that was a SICK heel-flip wee-pant over that 9-set!”

    because people don’t pick up their trash or wear their fucking helmets.

    …and drink beer there too, apparently

    http://www.fuel.tv/PoolSnob/blogs/view/4097?item=30892&type=Blog

    Seems like they threaten this every other year. I’m not saying it shouldn’t be taken seriously, but still. Also, I don’t understand why there is a problem with people of drinking age legally having a beer. It’s a U.S. thing with public parks. I’ve heard in Europe it’s a non-issue.

    If I could figure out a way to make people pick up trash i would. I try to pick some up at my local parks, hoping to set a good example, but it seems to be largely ignored. Parents are raising their kids poorly.

    look at their source, it came from the stak… namely larry.

    if the people lead the leaders will follow. just wear a fucking helmet at orcas – it’s not your park. bonus points for not putting photos of people skating there without helmets on the internet as well.

    Closing the park doesn’t seem to come up anywhere, just increasing fees. I didn’t know there was a fee, t’s been so long since I was there.

    Schoolboard guy said:

    As I’m the school board member who has been pushing this issue, I can tell you all that you should be proud of your fellow “local” boarders for a great turn out and an articulate argument. Tonights meeting went a long way towards a bright future for the skate park. I hope that all of you understand
    that you are all looked up to by the young kids on the island so please respect the policies of the park.

    1.Wear a HELMET

    2.NO ALCOHOL
    3.NO DRUGS
    4.NO TOBACCO
    5.Take out yor trash

    6.Wear a HELMET

    Wow Johnny… congratulations on all the attention!

    I find it hard to believe that helmets are the number one issue for all the controversy that’s going on. I can almost guarantee that it was the result of multiple tours and parties including under-age alcohol and drug consumption that have taken place here. Of course I don’t know if I’m right, but needless to say I’m sure Johnny will wear a helmet out of respect when he visits the park again. Now enjoy the photo and take it easy.

    As much as I hate to do it, I gotta agree with Bobcat on this one.

    This issue is just another example of the somewhat goofy fratboy attitudes of skateboarders.

    They are so concerned about their appearance that they would rather see a good skatepark closed than wear a helmet.

    An related fashion conformity is the trend toward “girl pants” rather than the traditional baggy pants.

    I remember at my local Y park the kids complained about being required to wear knee pads beacuse they said it restricted their ability to jump. Now they wear jeans so tight that the fabric behind the knee is constantly wrinkled because it can’t bend when they jump.

    They just didn’t want to wear knee pads because their frat brothers thought it was geigh. This skatebording as a “tribe” attitude causes way more problems than it solves.

    Bobcat – the answer to your problems at the staepark are simple. Call the cops when you see rules being violated.

    I do it all the time. It is a good way to clear out a crowed park also.

    It may save a life and will most certainly save your skatepark. Of course you will have to accept that you are an adult responsible for helping law enforcement keep civil order. But then, you are required to do things you may not want to do for the common good just like you are asking the park users to do.

    It’s a bitch being a grown up.

    wow what a fascist. So overfully concerned about controlling other peoples behavior. You call most skate boarders frat boys and conformists when you sound like like biggest frat boy conformist of them all. I know a diverse crowd of skateboarders with individual interests and beleifs. why are you so concerned about being adversarial? IT seems like you are an outsider looking in with no friends and no clue.
    ps. skateboarding is supposed to be about having fun

    Not sure if i made myself clear. frontside ollies on vert and other transitions are good things.
    Johnny turgesson has sick style when he does them on vertical or not vertical transitions.
    Vertical skaterboarding and transition skateboarding is very fun on ramps, bowls, jersey bariers, steep banks or banks to walls its all good and fun.

    what I really hate are andrecht handplants waste of time(fag plants)if you asked me.

    I do own a helmet and I do wear it on ocassion if I go to orcas which I definately will I will repect the rules and wear my helmet. personally I am not ashamed to be different like every body else. I still love punk been a “skate punk” since high school in the 80s. I dont look like it so much now though. haha. I am glad you conform to the rules of society I am sorry but I pick and choose which rules I obey I cant help it that is who I am. The thing I dont understand is why do you insult skateboarders if you pretend to be one? One of my good sk8 buddies is a college professor. I know a big group of skateboarders and they are all different types of people. dare I say it individuals who think act and dress differently.

    I am over this whole thing. IM going to SF to hopefully do some skateboarding this weekend if I go to lake cunningham I wont bitch about having to wear my helmet.

    ps So when do you want to meet orcas for a sesh. o wait your some idiot that lives no where near washington.

    you wont bitch about wearing the helmet, but you will about paying 5 dollars to get in. at least parking’s free this time of year. seriously though, its a rad park, but in the summertime, if you dont split the parking or park in the street, thats 11 dollars to skate. i guess if you make a day trip of it or get to skate with cab its worth it.

    LP – they should just close that park. Sounds like most of you don’t appreciate what you have.

  32. Fitz on December 11, 2008 - Reply

    I wear a helmet at Newberg, and I’d pobably do the same at Orcas–especially if it’s in danger of closing down.

    That said, if anyone ever tattles to the police about any of my behaviors, they should pray the cops arrest me. Because when they leave the park, we will have business.

    On that note, if you weren’t an utter coward, you’d talk right to the offending party yourself. I’ve done such things, and had it done to me, and it worked out fine without anyone having to call for somebody else to fight their battles. Grown men are able to speak directly to one and other.

    In other words, you are a total chickenshit.

  33. bobcat on December 11, 2008 - Reply

    Orcas skatepark is on school property – in order for it to exist the insurance states specifically that all users need to wear a helmet. If you don’t like that, go to one of the billion other NW parks that don’t require it.

    Don’t blow it for the locals. If they don’t wear helmets, thats their deal as well – be a better person and do you part rather than following the herd.

    and DaddyYo fuck off.

    Trust me DaddyYo, cops are just as irritated as anyone else when you call them up to fight a battle for you. Normal people should be able to have a conversation without it leading to calling the police. It just amazes me that you preempt conversing with other people and go straight to the cops. Much like the way you threatened Kilwag with a lawsuit, rather than just going away. Like some have already said. I feel sorry for you more than I hate you. This is most likely about as “social” as you get in your sad little world.

    i wear a helmet for the most part, whether its required or not, id rather not get a concusion, at my park they have security guards come and make sure everyone wears a helmet, which means most of the cool kids with the cool pants and cool clothes they bought at the mall stand around all pissed off

    i say close the park down, pick it up off the face of the earth, and move it some place where people appriciate what they have, like maybe my area code? (please?)

    anyway, ive found that pigs at skateparks do more harm then good, daddyo is a pig just like the rest of em

    endlessly running your mouth to deliberately piss off scores of people across the country does not equate to maintaining adult civility or peace.

    the reality is; when you provoke,the consequences are your own.

    I didn’t say that I would call the police in advance, dufuss. I said that I would notify them that I was going to skate at Burnside and that I had been treatened by Burnside skaters on this and other web forum and that I would call them to respond if any of those who have made threats took any action.

    I haven’t pissed off scores of adults acroos the country, I’ve pissed off skateboarders. There is a big difference.

    Who are you to say that I provoke anyone. I think you have provoked me. Does that give me the right to assault you. Idiot!

    spin it as you may but the truth is apparent.its not all the majority that has the problem,its you. as a conformist that should be easy to understand right?ok.

    skateboarders inlcude mostly adults that you have antagonized. but you you know that. c’mon now,i dont buy you’re that delusional,just horribly misguided.

    wouldnt you agree that crimes occur everyday that escape the consequence of law enforcement or do you think police are everywhere all at once to protect you from everything?And I welcome you to try an assult me, that would be hilarious, you’d fill your colostomy bag in seconds, old man.

    I have lived in a lot of areas and have watched a lot of parks get closed down for these problems. It seems to me that if they can enforce payment they should be able to enforce Helmets and No DRINKING OR DRUGS. I have not been to Orcas and hope that I will be able to in the near future but if not it is the School boards fault for letting people through the gate if they do not have a dome cup. It is also their fault for not placing bans on people who are particularly destructive in the park as far as vandalism and littering go. It is wrong to blame this on the skateboarders if they have to pay to play, that payment ensures they are enforcing the rules. If they are not then they (the skate park)are at fault.

    Voting for a third party is not throwing your vote away. When you vote for the “lesser of two evils” major party candidate they interpret your vote as a mandate for every one of their policies whether you agree with all of them or not.

    From Wikipedia with my examples of modern liberal fascist idiologies inserted):

    Fascism is an authoritarian or totalitarian nationalist ideology, which is primarily concerned with notions of decline (liberals accusations of conservative disregard for the welfare of the poor, equality of race and health of the environment) or decadence (liberals accusations of big business fat cats), and which seeks to solve such problems by achieving a millenarian national rebirth (a Changeolution!), exalting the nation or race above all else (“historic” election based on a race lie), and promoting cults of unity, strength and purity (Yes We Can, the Obama Messiah Cult).

    George Orwel said that the label fascism has been so over used and incorrectly applied that it is meaningless to it’s original definition and has come to mean and is as accurate in descibing the person who should acutaly be called a bully.
