The media has always associated skateboarding with gang related violence and breaking the rules. This is for a fact untrue as it is a serious sport that needs concentration and balance. So when you think about it, it would be very difficult for a person under the influence to step on a deck without going off balance and falling on his back from the moment he steps on it as skateboarding involves performing tricks at least 2 feet above the air. Skateboarders do their own thing as they practice their skills and try to covet endorsements and sponsorships. There is nothing violent about that and it certainly isn't a crime to skateboard.
It is very sad that the newspapers don't cover the positive aspects of skateboarding in the sports section. But when someone gets injured during competitions, the media shows it for the entire world to see that it is a dangerous sport. The poor skaters are even driven away when they are caught playing in parks and alley ways. If you look at the big picture, the sport lets children stay away from trouble as they are engrossed with practicing all afternoon; of course you have to set limits for the hours they have to be in school too. So if you want your teen to be happy, substance free and active- support his passion for skateboarding by building him a small cemented area within your property where he can skate freely, parking decks make great locations for them to practice in while your car is not parked. The Polyprufe System is a new technology which makes any area waterproof with the use of Polyprufe Waterproof Coating so it makes the area safe and stable enough to skateboard in. The material is from Maclennan-LSE which is the leader in ultimate coating system so your pavement will definitely be durable and skateboard wheel friendly as well.
Skateboarding is a way of expression and it builds character. Do not stereotype people by their hobbies, especially those who skateboard for fun.
