Skatepark madness - I just don't get it!!!!

<< < (3/3)

Shings:
I went over the bonnet of a fiesta when I was 13 while riding a raleigh burner with no brakes- whilst on the way to scouts.

Next day at school Mr Delderfield confiscated the same bike because I was giving someone a backy on it- still with no brakes.

Inner city Birmingham was a tough place when I grew up and still is now... I couldn't afford brake cables... let alone new tyres or inner tubes when they wore out..... I remember trying to patch a hole in a tyre with a bit of carboard.... so why would I possibly even consider buying safety gear- and as my dad was on the rock for pretty much 10 years during my childhood my parents couldn't afford it either.

I get what your saying guys - but spare a thought... not everyone has the money to buy anything for their kids other than the bike/board/blades in the first place.

I dunno what my point is.... but there is one.
