there's this one park I just don't go to because of a certain "jock" skater. He'll do every trick I try regular and switch in half the tries, then asks me if I'm sponsored in a real intrusive manner (every time I go there?), I wanny lie, but I don't, and he gives me the look like "Man, what you got that I don't!?" and I then give him a brief lecture from skate politics 101 and tell him he's sick enough to get hooked up (like the skatepark king needs any more of an ego)
Shortly after I recover from the self-esteem implosion inside cry session I have with myself, I talk my friends into going to skate an actual spot, and start actually having fun for the first time that day.

Skating a miniramp with one or two dudes you don't know who're both wearing headphones is pretty lame. Nothing makes me want to just go back home and eat fatty foods than skating the funnest terrain in skateboarding and having absolutely no fun.
Lurking juggalo/limp bizkit enthusiasts. The park I skate the most is in the parking lot of a highschool, it fucking sucks durring the week. Even durring the day when school's in session, there's a group of a dozen 16 year olds smoking on the deck of the miniramp, and they're all such fuckups that they're on a first-name basis with the truency officer chilling in the parking lot, and he doesn't even bother heckling them anymore, but the douchebag still comes over to ID me to make sure I'm not skipping school to skate the skatepark, I'm just like "fuck you, pig, I'm 23, I'm not in highschool". There was a period when the treuncy officers were actually kicking skateboarders out of the skatepark durring school hours, even though the park's ran by the park's department and is in no way connected to the school
But yeah, Juggalo's are the worst
I'll be skating the ramp and one will just fucking slowly walk across the flat bottom while I'm riding it, and I gotta reach deep inside and find that young Rollins that lives within all of us and just push the fucker to the ground and tell him to leave the park before I fucking ruin him
