Allowing bmxers to use the spot.
Cmon bro! its 2021... Stop living in the past! Also BMXers we dont grind ankle size ledges hahahahaha
Yes but y'all fuck up the ones that are knee high or anything that has a rail w/o supports every 2 inches. Also airing out and tossing your bike can fuck up a properly made quarter at a DIY. Other than that, I got no qualms with bikers at street spots, bikers use the streets use totally different for the most part. At least the unique ones do. Bikers at the skatepark, totally different story. It's like adult scooter kids mixed with preteen roller bladers that can ruin you if you don't completely spot your landing.
Instagram and iPhones are the ruiners of spots. Used to have like a million map quest pages, a local, a sherpa and an SUV to
actually find it. Then fix it or figure it out. Now you know where it is, only need a kook to drop you a pin and totally blow up a spot forever and you've already watched 400 other local kooks online literally do the same trick as each other or tick tack out of their "special" way of skating it while the spot has been bondo'd so bad there's more bondo than spot. I like being surprised and that type of randomness is so sick to see in the wild instead of preconceived. Love Park by now would have a fucking atlas app for the cracks, when to skate, when's the best time for euro dudes with Hans and all that wax, and when someone with a supreme shirt comes by. Totally would be cool for the app to tell you if the cops got called like Citizen app.
When you show up randomly it's more interesting then shipping some Red Bull hucker to one spot for that one trick or when you're at your local spot and some euro dude is doing all the other sins listed above just to be at the spot for the Instagram, that's fucking lame. I don't live in LA but saw it enough of that bullshit in Philly years ago, people were very rude of the city, it was so gross. When I went to CPH for 2 weeks I didn't litter all over red park or spray paint on their DIY's(which are amazing by the way). But that's exactly what people do in Philly, euro's, La chad-bro-chill's and the like. Just cause the city is crusty doesn't mean you live here, go back to Ohio and do that on your 7-11.
