I've been getting the kooks so I will re-explain what I meant. I really don't understand the whole "asshole" concept. I don't think these dudes who rip bowls and 1/2 pipes are "assholes". Yes there is an intimidation factor when you're a kid, but you feel that intimidation factor from the parking lot, 25 feet away. It's a weird energy. You get out of your car, and you know what's up. You can feel it from the parking lot, dudes are shredding hard. So right there you know that this ain't the park to do 2 mile per hour nollie backside flips, switch flips, or 2 mile per hour tre flips. You gotta dumb your shit down and do ollies, nollies, 50's, just skate as fast you can and stay out of the way.
So I wouldn't say that park rippers are "assholes". They're usually pretty anti-mainstream, anti- a lot of things so, I don't consider guys like that to be "assholes".
The only thing shitty that happens at a park is when you're shredding around a little ballerina bombs the bank on her Pink Barbie Big Wheel, with her Soccer Dad running behind her on his cell phone making some loud business call.
