You know yo ass is doomed
Finally got around to uploading pictures from this year’s Thanksgiving feast at my place. As per tradition, all of the standards were cooked: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, etc. We burned off some of the massive amounts of calories consumed through some good ole mini-ramp skateboarding (much like the first Thanksgiving feast in 1621). Enjoy!
This Saturday 3Hough and I were some of the lucky participants with Motorscooter Sports to ride in the Annual North Park Holiday Parade. Eric and I got up super early Saturday morning to decorate the scooters. We rode through the parade with about 40 other scooter enthusiasts. As usual, the scooter crowd had some of the best energy of the parade by bringing the holiday cheer in conjunction with some great scooter decorations. If you have a scooter, next Sunday, December 13th, Motorscooter Sports is hosting their annual Toy Run. Bring a toy and ride with the crew to help out those in need!
Well the inevitable finally happened. After a quick skate session during the day this holiday weekend Max and I were leaving the house. As I turned from my door I see a police officer walking up. While seeing police officers hasn’t been a rare occurrence in this neighborhood over the past few months, the fact that he was walking with purpose directly towards me told a different story. Low and behold he was called out on a noise complaint due to us skating. The cop was cool about it (as they generally always are out here in San Diego). But this still unnerves me that someone calls the police on me for skating in my backyard and during the day. If I was playing basketball or had a bunch of kids swimming in a pool and screaming, would someone have called the cops? If I was running a chainsaw and hammering would that still have prompted someone to call the police? I think not. Here we encounter the decades old stigma of skating.
Not one to back down, I did some research and am going to assert my rights to my neighbors. Read my handy-dandy letter which I will be hand delivering to my neighbors. More after the jump…
