Take care guys, pull your YouTube vids and take a low profile as it sounds like this cop is going to get nasty and keeping your heads down for a few weeks may be the smart move. Life gets really hard when the boys in blue are seeing red!!!!!!!!

“You see them smash into the side of shops, cars and people,” he said.

jesus, they are out to get you guys, nothing like a little sensationalization in the news, and some completely uninformed writers and police.

It will be interesting to see the community response throughout Gympie now that they know the cops are out to get us.....
The thing that sucks most though, the skaters smashing "into the side of shops, cars and people" and running red lights isn't even downhill skateboarders....It's shortboarders looking for a real adrenalin hit....

It never ceases to amaze me the knee-jerk reactions skating seems to provoke. Here is a picture of four guys in full safety gear, including helmets, and we are supposed to believe they are a hazard to themselves and the community. And the fact there are no quotes from skaters, but only from a cop whose bias is obvious, makes it abundantly clear this is not proper journalism but fear-mongering...

“You see them smash into the side of shops, cars and people,” he said. That is so funny!
The Gymp crew are controlled and level headed. Probably safer than most of the rest of us.
Good point Haggy i think it is fear-inducing and trying to single out longboarders as another threat to society. LAME
I also like where it says 'who deliberately ride on the road'. As opposed to what?! Unintentionally cruising up the street?
