Skate Boarding - is it the answer?

Skate Boarding ? - is it the answer .....

can it cross the generation gap and spawn a new age of community?

who is lobbying governments for better facilities?

who is bringing the young together , and helping coach them in both skateboarding and in life skills?

who are their role models?

what can we do to further the sport?

- i always wanted to , but never did, but i have actively watched my 8 year old at the skate park, mixing with other kids, being helped by some, observing role models good and bad. i have also cleaned up litter left by others before the kids come saturday morning, and suggested that the AMS encourage some unemployed people to act as "guardians" on the park for 2-4 hours a week in order to get their benefit cash as part of a working in the community program... i hope to bring some skaters from my towns twin towns in the region for a competition later....

- what sort of more positive future could more investment in skating bring? what sort of investment? what sort of RoI?

http://www.sportfestival.at/ skating was there last year, and i hope again this!
