Look at skateboards as bicycles and it wouldn't be long before some of these overly energetic teens actually injure and/or maim a pedestrian or animal. Kids need to find skate parks in their neighborhoods. We used to have this problem in Indianapolis where these hordes of kids would pick an office plaza and "fly through the air," bump into pedestrians and run delivery personnel off the sidewalk...that is until the police banned the practice.

They would much rather be at the parks if they existed. Kids can ride skateboards in public places and show the proper respect for others. I mostly see small minded adults not showing the proper respect for these kids, though.
