Like I'm all for little kids going out and riding their bikes or scooters. But they really irritate me. Like today. I finished school for the week \
and decide to go sesh my local park. I get their and throwdown a couple tricks and then a family with 2 kids on scooters rock up. Now I was like Ok, I hope they don't snake me.

So I decide to go hit a quarter and one of the kids decides to ride infront of me about half way their, and if you've seen my bike check you'll know I don't have brakes. So at I stop and and ask the kid to move out of the way and he moves. And I start my run up again and hit the quarter, and everything is sweet. Then I decide to hop up the 3 stair and I nearly clean up the same kid again.

Now it really gets me agrivated when the parents step in and abuse you for nearly hitting their kid. But..
1) It's a skatepark. You do tricks there. You don't ride around and get infront of BMXers, Skaters etc.
2) It's dangerous there. Little kids shouldn't be there. They should be riding in their local park.

What's your opinion on it?

I completely agree. It happens to me often, and although I know they just want to have fun, they could probally just go to a park or something. I mean, it's not like they do tricks or anything.

The problem with this is that the parents arent there to give them guidance. They need to be told to stay out the way of the lines that people take. Almost always the cross the run ups.. and if they get hit they blame everyone else. They need to be shown the lines..

This is a major problem at my local park. There is a funbox and you can't see what's on the landing until you're in the air and often there are little scooter kids on the down ramp that sometimes very nearly get cleaned up.

If they are being supervised by their parents, you could kindly say that a skatepark isn't the right place just to roll around, and that you can take it to a walking path or something. If not, you could approach them and warn them to watch out before they get cleaned up.

Parents are usually ok, but some are just as in the dark as their spawn. Sometimes a good cleaning up is necessary.. parks really shouldnt have scoots in there. if theyre open public parks you cant do anything about it except speak to them and explain park rules and etiquette

so this one time, i was brakeless, and was pumping hard as to do this real big gap at my local, i was beyond the point f stopping when a little kid snakes me and i his his back wheel and fly over my bars , the kids back wheel was bent in half andi was left with a rather large lump on the back of my head from when i hit the ground, i stand up and the perent comes over and gives me a spew about how i should look out for the young kids (and this was after i was going flat out (you can see it, it was the last trick in "my edit" in the vid and pic forum) and brakeless, cause my cable snapped the week before......kids(and there perents)

i disagree the older kids use the skatepark better then the littlies because the little kids just scooter in the way and fall over and cry and there bike or scooter in front of the box and make me run into it and go over the bars and slide on my face

little kids

Yeah, But. Its a skatepark. It's pretty dangerous for a little kid to be there. Say if they stack infront of a funbox infront of you. Your in mid air and you see the little kid infront of you. The kids stuffed. So will you when the parents realize that you have hurt their kid and abuse you.

The other week, my friend and I went out to film a few things and this kid kept getting in our shots. This one clip really got my friend agrovated. He 360'd the box and stacked because these kids were standing right infront of the landing he didn't want to hit them so he bailed half way through the 3 and ate it hard. The kids just stood there, infront of the down ramp and laughed at him. He got really angry. The kids dad walks up to us and says 'Try not to get angry infront of my kids and try not to get in their way. Your setting a bad example for them'. Ahh hello Mr. Anyone home. Your kids just stood infront of the down ramp and nearly got cleaned up and your telling us that we are setting a bad example to your kids when your on the phone swearing to your Wife/Ex-Wife/Girlfriend about something. You should tell your kids not to get in the way of other people.

It's kinda stupid bringing your little kid to a skate park just to ride their scooter or bike. They get in the way of other people and just sit and laugh about it when the person makes a funny face because they want to swear at the kid. It's just they should be riding in their local playground on the concrete.
