The Tony Hawk ornament and other X-mas mysteries.

The Entitled Generation – Ungrateful spoiled brats.

This was going to be a thread about the trend of municipalities closing down skateparks when they get tagged as an incentive program to stop vandalism.

(Not) All skateboarding kids are bad.

Set your DVR’s, VCR’s or eyeballs
