  • @refirendum
    @refirendum 6 років тому +236

    truth about some skate stoppers is they're using "stopping skating" as a front to place dividers on long benches and other sitting implements to deter homeless people from sleeping on them. of course they'll enforce the "stopping skating" thing because if they don't then it becomes more apparent to the general populace that they never cared about it stopping skating.

    • @icankickflipok
      @icankickflipok 5 років тому +6

      I've seen this comment before, it's actually very interesting because it suggests they dont actually care about the skaters skating there to begin with, but that we have to suffer it too as a side effect of a conflict that is much deeper than people riding pieces of wood and also has fuck all to do with us. Like being 7 years old and having to side with your mom or your dad in an argument that is about bills not getting paid and whose fault that is, and whichever parent you dont side with will punish you differently in whatever ways they see fit.

    Skate stoppers aren’t put in place to avoid structural damage. They are placed to avoid lawsuit to the owner of the property or city if the property is government owned. If they put up skate stoppers and signs saying “Do not skate”. Then if someone who decides to skate at the location decides to anyways then gets injured and wants to sue (yes it can happen). Then their suit will be lost by the owner putting up preventive measures that were ignored...

      @icankickflipok 5 років тому

      Yeah, the signs accomplish that all on their own. The state stoppers are literally just a way of saying "hey and in case our sign wasnt enough to stop you, here's something you can get severely fucking hurt on because fucking fuck you and your hobby, I dont like it, its noisy, annoying, and gets in my way, that way I can laugh at you on your way to the hospital saying, "should have listened to the sign moron, now you're hurt AND you cant sue me despite the fact my decision to put the skate stoppers there is why you're hurt and not the act of skateboarding itself."

    • @icankickflipok
      @icankickflipok 5 років тому +1

      @Jack Callister same way I can win a lawsuit against Walmart if I slip and fall on a wet spot when theres no "warning! Wet spot" sign or an employee standing next to the spot verbally warning people "hey, its wet, be careful." Or at least that’s the logic they say, it doesn’t actually work out like that though, for a lot of simple but quite meaningful reasons. But the simplest reason is that, if the company Walmart could prove the person intentionally injured themselves or put themselves in a position where injury was a likely possibility in order to sue or are faking their injuries, the case will be dismissed with no winners or losers, but Walmart could counter-sue. Doesn’t mean they’d win, but they could. That said, to stand on a skateboard is to willingly subject yourself to the dangerous position that being on a skateboard is. It’s all too easy to prove the skater willingly put themselves at moderate to high risk of injury, since being willing to put yourself at risk of moderate to high injury is an innate part of riding a skateboard. It’s common knowledge that literally goes without saying. And that would mean a skater could never, ever, EVER successfully sue a place if they got hurt skating there, regardless of whether or not there was a sign. Every case of it would be dismissed, and every skater who tried it would be counter-sued for the lawyer fees of the person, people, or company they tried to sue, at the very least, and quite successfully, since civil cases don’t require proof beyond reasonable doubt, but only require you to show that a certain case is more likely than the other, even if by such a slim margin. All of this is just a result of the societal stigma and prejudice against skateboarders and skateboarding.

    @truthsmiles 6 років тому +328

    If anyone cares to hear the 'cranky old man' perspective, I'll offer it:
    As a kid I used to skate (we're talking 30 years ago) and even back then, once great skate spots would get 'ruined' overnight by some crotchety old fart putting bumps/barriers up. I remember the frustration and not understanding why, but looking back I also remember believing I was being discriminated against because of the way I dressed, because I was young, or just because some people 'hate skateboarders'.
    Today I see it from a different perspective...I own some real estate and I also have crappy health insurance.
    Why do those two things matter?
    First, anything that happens on my property, I'm potentially liable for. It's not fair, but that's the way it is. If a burglar breaks into my house and trips on a roller skate I left on the floor, breaking his leg, he can sue me. It doesn't matter that he was trespassing, it doesn't matter that he was burglarizing my house... I had created an environment a reasonable person could say was hazardous. So, no, I don't want you skating on my property because even though 99% of you would never sue over a self-induced broken spine from trying to kick-flip down my stairs, there's always one who will, and if I lose I'm f***ed. Since I can't tell by looking who is who, I'm pretty averse to letting ANYONE skate (or do anything risky) on my property.
    Second: Health insurance. I remember being 18 years old and invincible. Almost nothing could hurt me, and if I did get hurt, 'walking it off' was usually all the medicine I needed. In any case, it didn't really matter because my only responsibility was showing up to class. Today, I have a family, a job, and bills to pay. Even pros lose control of their boards sometimes, and if I happen to be walking by it just takes a second for a 25mph board to hit me in the ankle and put me out of commission for a week or even a month. Who's going to pay my medical bills and for my lost time at work? You, kid with a skateboard? No offense, but I doubt it - I certainly couldn't have when I was jamming on my Per Welinder in 1987.
    Now, before you decide I'm a complete buzzkill, please know that whenever there is a proposal to increase taxes to build a skatepark on the ballot, I'll surely vote for it. I don't mind contributing a portion of my money to giving people a safe, fun place to skate - I'm just not willing to put my entire life's work at risk. I hope some can understand that.
    Sorry for the long post - hope I didn't give you cancer.

      @truthsmiles 6 років тому +42

      @cappucino 108 - even if what you say is true (it's not, but let's say it is), there's a first time for everything. And even if I eventually win such a lawsuit, do I want to pay the legal bills to defend myself against your health insurance company? No, I don't, thank you. Again, I know the chances of lawsuits are remote - very remote, but that doesn't mean I want to add more risk to my life for no good reason.
      Regardless, lawsuits aren't really my biggest concern - damage and injuries are. Skate trucks are made from metal. They damage curbs and corners of concrete. I can appreciate that it doesn't seem like a big deal to chip a bit of concrete, but someone paid good money for those stairs and they don't want to have to pay to repair them after you've damaged them. I don't want to have to power wash the paint off either - I have enough other crap to do (like write too-long comments on UA-cam!). Also, as I said before, even the best skaters lose control of their boards. I don't want your board flying into the side of my car or smashing into my shin.
      All that being said, if some neighborhood kids came to me and said, "Hey mister, you have a great driveway for skating. If our parents sign a form saying we won't sue you, and if we promise to pay for or repair any damage we cause, do you mind if we use it?" I would probably allow it. But of course, no one ever asks... they just trespass and call people neurotic jews if they want to keep the stuff they've worked hard to build in nice condition, amirite?

I want him to take the risks he sees fit. Knowing that you feel the way you do, I'm sure many other property owners feel the same. From now on I will always offer to sign a waiver to any property owner of obstacles my son would want to skate on. It never even crossed my mind until you mentioned it. We can all learn something from other perspectives apart from our own echo chamber of ideas.

    Totally understand how most people who want to sit on their butts watching TV all day or play golf and tennis at the country club and then complain about how it's the kids who are too lazy and destroying public property by skating. I'm curious if that area where the cops ran you off was actually posted for no skateboarding. If not your response to "these are here to keep you from skating" is "well, they're not very effective". I mean, there are city codes that get posted as to the restrictions for the area of your home free. I'm not telling you to get into it with a group of cops. We all know how that goes sideways, fast. Just know the laws and don't let cops invent or inforce their own interpretation. The presence of skate stoppers is supposed to stop grinding but if they don't then awesome.
