Used to skate all day every day growing up, now I’m a civil engineer and it pains me to see kids grinding up on my freshly paved and cemented ledges 🤣😭 Now I understand where all the “haters” were coming from when I was growing up. Skating does damage public property but I would never in a million years tell them to leave, seeing kids outside instead of indoors will always make me happier than keeping them off my beautiful hard work.
