Pink Spot, a skateboard park built over the past four months on an abandoned supermarket site in Stanton, Delaware, was bulldozed by city crews on Tuesday June 8, 2010 after a teenage skateboarder was injured at the site according to a story in Delaware Online.
The park was a liability to the state, Delaware Department of Transportation Manager of North District Operations Bill Thatcher said, noting officials were alerted to the problem about two weeks ago after a teenage skateboarder injured his leg at the site. . . “It’s state property. The accident happened, the child was hurt, police were called and something had to be done,” Thatcher said.
We continue to be astounded by the lack of thought used by most city governments. If kids are skating there turn it into a skatepark. Is it that hard to figure out?

Korey Ward, 24, the reported “ring-leader” of a Yakima, Washington “skateboard group” called the Mayday Mob was convicted of six counts of second degree arson on Monday, June 7, 2010 for a slew of fires set at homes and businesses during the summer of 2007, according to a story in the Yakima Herald.
Authorities believe Ward was the ringleader of the Mayday Mob. They also believe members of the Mayday Mob were involved in as many as 10 fires set between April 2006 and October 2007, including a blaze that destroyed 10,000 bins at a CPC International fruit warehouse on Occidental Road on Nov. 12, 2006. . . . Other properties included the campus of Robertson Elementary School in Yakima, other local fruit warehouses, and a power pole and two dozen juniper trees at the corner of 80th Avenue and Zier Road.
Another member of the crew Eric Protsman, 19, who testified against Ward in this trial, says that in the beginning the Mob was about skateboarding and nothing else, according to statements made to the Yakima Herald in April.
“There were eight of us, we were all skateboarders and that’s all we did,” Protsman said from behind a glass window at the jail’s visitor area. “It was a skateboarding group that turned into a gang.
Ward could spend up to seven years in prison for his crimes. Do they have skateparks in prison?
Some jock and ball fan/blog site called Fanhouse interviewed Eric Koston at the Maloof Money Cup over the weekend and report that Frosty says that professional skateboarders don’t make enough prize money. Here’s a little of what he told them about prize money and Dyrdek’s Street League.
“You know, it’s always a weird thing talking about money, right? But it’s like, how much work do they put in to creating a TV show? A show is the product, the product is what sells to all the sponsors, so it’s that sort of trickle-down effect. But the guys who are actually putting on the show should actually get rewarded for putting on the fucking show . . . “Well, I’ve talked to Rob and I’ve known Rob for about 17 years. I’ve known him for a long time, and we’ve always discussed how bad it is, but recently when he’s taken the initiative to get this thing going, he’s really thought it out: What’s wrong with what’s currently going on and how do you make it better? And he figured it out, I know it, we all know it. It’s just, how do we do it? So we have to sort of band together to do it. That’s the reality. Everybody’s got to be part of it and if we all are one voice, then you have to talk to that person.”
The rain cooperated for the most part and Chris Cole did was he’s been doing a lot lately—he methodically destroyed section after section laying down a list of video game moves in each section. P-Rod had a good morning, but had some trouble in the final section.
