    The only gripe that people here have with parents is that a lot of them fail to respect the skateboarders who frequent a park. I mean, its really cool that you’re supporting your kid’s skateboarding, but at the same time, please understand that the picnic table by the kicker is meant to be skated, not a place to put your bags and stuff down on. But I wont classify all skate parents into one group either, but maybe make a post called “The 7 types of parents you will meet at a skatepark”.

    I have a story of this one small spot. Basically with any spot, there is a “flow” to the spot; areas that are meant to be doing lines, and a seperate area for flatground tricks/practice ollieing. Well I’ll make it short. One time a dad decided to take his son skating. Has his son try and do everything right in front of the most skated obstacle in the park, the euro gap, and gets pissed at people for skating the euro gap. It became enough when 3 dudes had to end their day due to swerving away from the lil kid. Two slammed straight into the hubba next to it and another got tangled up on a handrail. We ended up having to sit the dad down and talk like adults.
