Whats the Deal with Love Park

So three weeks after the removal of the Christmas village we skaters are still getting pushed around by security figures telling us not to skate in Love Park. I’m entirely perplexed by this ever changing playground of rules. For one, I’ve skated love park many a Saturdays with no consequence and made plenty of skater acquaintances doing it. However yesterday when I went to meet up with the guys over at Not 1 Philly Parkour  I was greeted by a police officer who told me to keep my board off the ground. I did what he asked but I just didn’t get it . Was it really that big of a deal? The Christmas Village has long since been gone and the only remnants of it were the ugly ‘You Know You Love It.” Noodle. Who authorized Kraft to put that blight there? How soon can we get it torn down?  Anyway there was hardly anyone in the park so I don’t see what the big deal was. There's even a new green 'Fairmount Park Rules and Regulations" board. No biking, no in line skates, no roller blades, no skateboards  no scooters, no alcoholic beverages, no smoking... Its like they want us to just sit there and enjoy the fountain or something.  I left and didn't soon return. I hope our skate haven returns to its original skater friendly dome-plex soon. 

Totally Got Chased out of Love park

Fellow skaters, it seems out ever uphill battle against security guards will... well never end. yesterday a couple friends and I get to love park and start what we feel is a pretty good session. Nose 5-0's simple tricks down the three stair. I was skating flat getting warmed up. Next think I know, I look up and everyone's making a run for it. Now I didn't even see the Security guards ( or know that they cared that we skated Love park since we do every Saturday ) . Long story short they caught up w. one of my boys took info then let him go. Its lame that they still don't want us skating there, and the skate park next to the art museum isn't even close to being finished so where are we supposed to go Philadelphia? Here's hoping we find a compromise soon.

Love Park, Our skate Haven Returns.

Skaters are Buzzing about this upcomming weekend. Why? for several reasons. First, its the first weekend the Christmas Village is competely out of Love park, so our saturday skate haven has been returned to its rightful state, and two, its supposed to be in the 50's this weekend. Last weekend we had snow and its been wet these past few 2013 weekends but this weekend should deffiently prove to be something worth the wait. The Team and I will be out saturday as well as sunday skating and filming so if you'd like to be captured on camera look for us around 15th and market after 1pm. Hopefully we'll catch someone skating the Love gap now that the fountain is empty. Either way we'll deffinetly post some gnarley footage in the comming weeks.
