I don't know. Last time I was home, I went out skating street numerous times and didn't see a soul. None of the spots, I'm talking fresh granite blocks and stuff, directly across from the indoor skatepark, were being skated. None of the new curbs, ledges, wall rides. Nothing. It was weird to see because there's a bitchin indoor park, but it seems like over the past 18 years, or like the last 3 generations of kids that could start skating, no one pushes around town, so subsequently, no one can be part of the scene unless they pay to play. Maybe it's partially due to all the dudes my generation (35-40) got into drugs and died or left town, unable to pass the legacy on.
All I'm trying to do with the kids where I live is hook em up with decks and sneakers and shit. telling them not to litter at our spots. that shit always meant the world to me when I was coming up
