The San Clemente, California Parks & Recreations department voted 6 to1 on Tuesday night (May 8, 2012) to uphold the current ban on scooters at the City’s Ralphs Skate Court, according to a story in the OC Register.
Commissioner Steven Streger said he would be open to revisiting the discussion of legalizing scooters at Ralphs Skate Court, depending on whether the city’s insurance covers only skateboarding and whether it bans “mixed use.” He said the statewide immunity protecting the city on skateboarding applies only to skaters 12 and older and to skaters doing tricks. There is a broader rule that covers dangerous activities, he said, so the key is the wording of the insurance, which commissioners didn’t have available to them Tuesday.
Not really sure that this ban makes any sense, but then again, the fewer scooter riders at skateparks, the better.

Scooters are like fat girls, great fun to ride until your friends find out.
