Everyone is still skating, but it IS getting harder. Having a park would help so much. I hope the town and county can come together to assist. if not we'll build a nice DIY spot.

I used to be a part of this skate scene, I'd skate with Brandon, Josh and Jerico almost everyday, I moved away but I still talk to them, I'm always hearing about how they're cracking down more and more on skateboarding, I remember in 2008 When you could skate at the courthouse and no one would say a thing to you. Stragne how things change.
