Hello,
About one week ago today, me and a couple buddies
drove to the Bridgewater
skate park. A little history needs to be said first. Many generations of
skaters have tried and tried to get a park for Bridgewater, and over many years and meetings
we finally accomplished a temporary park in a "carnival" parking
lot. And if it wasn’t bad enough that we have to use this unlevelled
bumpy, rough slab of asphalt a brand new cop station popped up about a year
after the park got put there. and being a temporary you think it would be a
prime deascion to get it out of there, but no we are stuck with this park being
unused for what another two years. Tsk tsk
So to the happenings of last week which ironically was
on Canada’s
thanksgiving, we got out of the car bushy tailed and googly eyed and we did
what came natural, we skated. but the festivities didn’t last too long within 3
minuets 2 cops walked over on foot and a SUV cop cruiser pulled out with its
destination set for the park, which is funny seeing that there 10 realistic
steps away from the park with only a road dividing the two. And this is where you’re
thinking "RUNNNNNNNN" but being in the "situation"
(ha) that we were in it wasn’t going to happen. Plus we got a car so it wouldn’t
have worked.
Well 1/3 cops was half decent to us the other two
which were men were out-of-line to put it nicely. We forked over our prized possessions
with hesitation (skates). But no it wasn’t it over it seems everyone 16 and
older gets a fine of 135 and a court date. Well ill be going to court mid November
for doing something I love. Ill walk in with a smile on my face and a heltmet-less
angel’s shirt under my over.
Oh and why this all happened is because of the helmet law.
And when you grow up not wearing a helmet. And then they
See one kid get hurt at a park "not even
seriously" or
They get some fake world statistics, they try
Too slap helmets on us. Mind you this law is only
Effective in Nova Scotia.
That’s why skateboarding is a crime,
And why i'm a convict.
