Anywhere in “El Lay” you will see a groups boys skateboarding on any surface, at any time, anywhere. The places I see these guys in are odd to say the least. They try to skate on rails, roofs, yes roofs, tops of trucks, perimeter walls and of course sidewalks and streets. They are oblivious to on coming traffic, and they actually seem to think that you should get out of their way because they are coming in your direction. They do all these flips and jumps without any headgear or joint pads.
To them protection is for the weak and the less protection you have the more it shows your “ride” experience. Other then the damage skating causes to property, this activity is a lot better than these kids getting involved in illegal activities such as gangbanging, drug dealing or prostitution. These skateboarders look out for each other and actually have a fun time doing it. This is why the city of Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Department has built so many skateparks throughout the city. These skateparks have many ramps, bridges, and other obstacles that these boarders can enjoy. The good part, it is all done with adult staff supervision. Wow, what a concept.
Until the next lesson, “Stay Down.”
