Today was the last day when scooters could ride on skateboard/inline days in our closest indoor park (which is the only indoor park in the city unfortunately). They relised that it's unfair that scooter riders could go both on bmx days and skateboard/inline days. From now on, scooters are mixed with bmx days which are monday and wednesday.

In my opinion, i'm glad that they mixed us with BMXs, not with skateboards/inline skates, because:

Goods:
1) skateboard/inline days are often pretty crouded and skateboards fly away a lot in every direction;
2) like 95% of the BMX riders are my friends, i know only a few guys on skate days.
3) skateboarders often use the flybox for diffirent reasons. They use the landing area for as a ditch where to perform their tricks to fakies, and the kicker is often used as a miniramp with the big quarterpipe where i get speed. The top of the flybox is often being used as a standing area, where like 10 kids wait for their turn. No problems with BMXes, they aren't in the way.
4) There is A LOT less people riding on BMX days. (usually like from 8 to 15 people; skatedays have 30-40 people, and it's a lot for a small park).

And here's the bad:
i could ride on friday nights and on saturdays (on sundays it's closed), so basicly i rode every weekend. In the past 4-5 weeks, i've only managed to go on bike days only 2-3 times. I may not find any good time to ride on business days.

Shit happens?



edit: i felt like posting it, but i'll post pictures some day too, after all it's a pretty good park.

Not much at all. I'm all park basicly. Any footage of me riding street is considered as a pretty rare thing.
Besides, it's winter, it's freezing cold outside and i'm wondering why hasn't snow come down yet.

Same here, in Canada of all places... WTF.

Sorry for bump, i forgot to mention something on here a while ago. Last year like a few days after christmas i spoke to a worker there. They said they haven't decided anything if scooters are forbidden or not, so the shit that skater was talking, was a big hoax.

So we can still ride on all days when it's opened.

Wait, the skaters were saying that scooters weren't being allowed? you can still go on both bmx and skateboard days?

Yeah. One of my old friend (who was a skateboarder and has worked at the park) told me that hoax, i hadn't really seen him riding in that park so many times though. He told me that he had spoken to another worker at that youth centre and decided the thing but when i found out from the person that he was supposed to decide with, didn't know anything. So i told the skateboarder one day that if he's still a official worker there, then take care of it if he really cares about it. Untill it's not officially written on their homepage that there are "bmx/scooter" days, me and my buddies will keep riding on ANY day we like. The real official workers haven't stopped us from entering the park.

Currently on the homepage it shows "BMX" and "rula/rulluisk" (translation: "skateboard/rollerblades") for diffirent days and there's no sign of scooters, not even a word. The worker has told that if anyone doesn't have any complaints, then scooters are allowed on any day.
