Are you fed up being kicked out of street spots by over zealous security guards?

Are you fed up with being threatened with arrest and treated like a criminal?


IRELAND NEEDS SKATEPARKS!!!!
Currently Irelands huge community of skateboarders, B.M.Xers and rollerbladers has the use of one public skatepark (Waterford).
This is a disgraceful situation and something needs to be done about it.
It is time for us to unite and fight for the provision of skateparks in every town in Ireland.
