> YOBBOS AT THE SKATEPARK
I understand that skateparks attract disadvantaged kids who want a free place to hang out. No problem with that.
But it's getting over-the-top...recently at two skateparks in particular (Prahran in Melbourne and Waterloo in Sydney), I've skated when there's about five skaters and twenty-five yobbos and kiddie thugs.
It's fucked. How many times do I have to clean up the broken glass that these gangbanging knobs leave in the skatepark?
No wonder the yuppies are trying to stop skateparks being built in their street. Does anyone else notice this?
We only get stealth bommers tagging the joint at the Dock. Mostly cause all the locals know I'll fuck em up if they get outta hand.
we dont so much get it at brisbane, and next to none at fairfield and even them most are just the local bowl moles
Fuck yeah! Lately Prahran has been inundated with far more than its usual quota of scum although its not the kids causing problems its the smackie mums and wife beating dads!
yobbos?
ive never experienced this at merrylands
hmm. must be an inner city thing
Yeah, Prahran is one of the worst, offspring-of-sh!t-parents love the place.
There's a little girl that hangs out there all the time with some of the sh!t crew, she's really young and got long brown hair and wears oversize T-shirts, she kinda thinks she's gangster. Anyway we were skating there and it was getting dark, maybe around 9.00. All of her mates had gone and she was sitting on the bench by herself looking like she had nothing better to do. Makes you wonder about her folks, they musn't give a fuck. Poor kid.
I've skated Prahran off and on for over 20 years and there has always been local (non skating) scumbags that hang around the basketball court etc, but the last 5-6 months have been outta hand....fights, cops, dudes carrying guns....I hope there is a big shipment of heroin due in soon to calm them all down a bit because they're all on edge lately.
All the locals at Prahran may be a bit rough but they are cool. Had some funny conversations with some of them and watching their vebal fights are so funny.... "Bro if you wanna shoot me then fucking do it bro, I dare ya"
Good times!
Chatswood in sydney has been overrun by lads of late. smashing bottles and shit. I know of at least three incidents where a small group of skaters have been targeted by marouding mobs of mini lads. This is not a new occurance but it is the new gen of adlays 12 year olds and shit thinking theyre tuff shit. i say get the fuck outta my skatepark!
Whoa! I just read your post Nick. I didnt know it was actually that bad... The guys on the bball court were cool. Probs because I'm black.
my friend dav got his 50 bucks stolen off him at pooran and ever since i've been pretty reluctant to skate there not that i really like the park anyway
