      My city dismantled our little skate park around 2022, and my wife and I were kinda sad to see it go.

      The city then built a whole new one in its place that’s at least ten times the size with lots of lighting. We see tons of skaters of all ages there all the time. It’s really cool and I’m really happy they did it.

      There’s a skatepark near me that is still bumping. All ages, all times of day. There is even this guy who lives in his car that comes out an practices DJing out there. It’s an awesome little community.

      Yes. You probably just don’t see them on the streets as much, because concrete parks are being build everywhere.

      It’s now part of the Olympics and a lot more girls skate too these days, so the sk8erboi stereotype doesn’t really fit very well any more.
