"If you're going to be out in traffic, and going to be trying to treat yourself as a motor vehicle, you're going to put yourself in danger "
so people riding bicycles aren't in danger when they ride according to the motor vehicle act?
I live no far from Fredericton, and if I'd have been able, I would have gone to the protest.
How come they didn't ticket/arrest all the skaters that followed him down the street?
He's on a long board ffs, not like he was kickflipping the yellow line, - jordankasteler, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6Skateboarding is not a crime.
- bobbymoney, on 05/15/2008, -9/+1maybe that loser should get a real job and life and stop skateboarding, illegal or not
you're 25 for god's sake. not 12. - zombird, on 05/15/2008, -0/+9If you don't drive a car, the terrorists win.
- theNazz, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Anti-Skateboarding laws are the end result of people refusing to stand up to stupid lawmakers and their goon-squad enforcement agents. Cops should definitely have something better to do than arrest somebody for skateboarding.
