My buddies and me were skating at this college and a squad car pulled up. Usually we'd just walk up to the cop and he'd just tell us to leave but for some reason my buddy just took off. So my other three buddies took off too, so not wanting to get left behind, I followed suit. We ran down a one way street then ducked into these alleys behind some apartments and were trying to get back to the car so we could just roll home, but every time we got out to a street to get back to the car another squad car would roll up and we'd have to run the opposite way. Long story short, after I don't know how long of running we finally made it back to the car and there weren't any cops in sight. My buddy got his keys out and opened up the trunk so we could throw our boards in and as soon as the trunk opened there were seriously a dozen squad cars all around, lights and sirens blaring. i don't know how we got out of it, but none of us got tickets or anything. just our names taken down, but it was still

Skating the Penn campus in West Philly by myself on ledges, open to the street, no "NO Skateboarding" or "No Trespassing" signs anywhere. A campus cop runs up on me and gets in my face. I'm against a wall and my board is on the ground at my feet. I try to tell him I'll leave. I reach for my board to split and he grabs me by the throat and throws me against the wall: I can't talk or breath. As his backup arrives, he lets go of my throat and starts telling them how he repeatedly told me to leave, how I resisted and he had to try to remove me forcibly (I was ready to get the fuck out of there the moment I saw the dude). Four hours in a holding cell while they drum up a ticket for trespassing and try to get their storys straight. My throat is completely black and blue the next morning and when I contest the trespassing ticket in court, the judge and cop greet each other as old friends. The judge won't listen to my side, won't look at the photos of my bruised throat and ma

I was skating a pool at this torn down house with my dad and one of his buddies. Cops came up and for some reason thought that we were spray painting the pool and the torn down house. They wanted to look at our hands to see if we had paint on them. My dad told them that we were only here to skate the pool and that we were not bothering anyone. The cop checked my dad's ID to see if he had any warrants and made some comments about him still skateboarding and teaching his son the break the law. This made my dad mad and he told the cop that he was making it hard for him to teach me respect for the law. That pissed the cop off and he told us to leave and never come back or he would write us all tickets. We went back though.

it was a week from my 18th birthday, and i was at the local park skating. now to set the record straight the local SKATERS paid for the construction of the park, without any support from local bikers and inliners, so the park was built smaller and bikes were not allowed by the city. one of the more then dumb local bikers showed up and i stopped him at the gate, you cant ride here,fag." as niceley as i could say. he dropped his bike and took a swing. he missed and i hit him as hard as i could and he went lights out. i left and went home cause i was scared, but my house was only like 2 blocks from the park. a few minutes later i saw a cop car pull up so i opened the door. when i stepped out the door i noticed all the other cops that had come around the side of my apartment, there were like ten or so and they all had there guns drawn. long story short i guess they said i broke his cheek, but on the plus side he got in a fight later, and they couldnt prove who actually broke his cheek. sk8 for life.

Once I was skating this gap across from some ladies house. No signs or nothin. Plus it wasn't even anybodies property. But she comes out and told me the cops were coming. I replied with a casual ok. The cops showed up and took my board out from under me and started pushing. Then they had me take the line test and all that bullshit. Then said I failed and took me downtown. Where they retested me and the lead po-po told me to "sit the fuck down while they went over the results. I said that was "fucking ignorant to swear" and then they found I was completely sober but I apparently have tickets for, disrupting the peace, resisiting arrest, insubordination of the law and about 4 more. Hell court on June 4th! Hello probation!

Well well well you was this old wearhouse about a mile or so from my house and some people built some ramps and stuff in it.We sk8ed it for about 2 weeks and the ramps where good too only made up of stuff in the place.Like this quarter pipe made of ghetto ply wood and a fun box with refrigerators for hubbas and tons more stuff it was basicly like the warehouse level form THPS1 just smaller and minuse the giant half pipe and taxi.So then one day a biker came and took pictures of the place and we just stared at him like "dude are you serious".Then bikers came and more came then soon we went there early one day befor the bickers came and just as me and my friends where about to go in we here some people in there yell and we took off into the woods next to it and watch 4 bikes come out hand cuffed.There where a few cop cars parked down the road so they most likely just stayed in there till someone went in .Now a year and a half later it was torn down and now it is just a empty lot. P.S. Thanks to who m
