News flash "Idiots skateboard through Heysen Tunnels on South Eastern Freeway"
THREE men - including a Western Australian - caught skateboarding on the South-Eastern Freeway through the Heysen Tunnels this morning were fined $171.
The men - a 23-year-old of Kingscote, a St Morris man, 22, and a South Fremantle man, 20 - were captured on security cameras riding longboards through the Heysen Tunnels about 2am.
Police later stopped the men and issued on-the-spot fines for riding a skateboard on a road at speeds over 50 km/h, riding a skateboard at night and riding a skateboard on the freeway.
The tunnels are constantly used by hundreds of vehicles, including heavy trucks.
The misuse of roadways should be reported to the police, Constable Kynan Lang said.
"This (skatebording) is not appropriate and will be dealt with accordingly," he said.

This is fucking stupid! sure we all know they weren't in any real danger...but we ride skateboards down hills! 99.9% of people think going down a hill on a skateboard is suicide....fair call? so when people see that on the news what are they going to think??? theres good and bad publicity, and in the long run that bad publicity will hurt the aus downhill community as first impressions last. what would be a better first impression for some one whos never hear of the sport...? seeing skaters on the news being fined for breaking the law. OR seeing skaters rip down mount panorama in an organised race.
I'm not saying you shouldn't skate public roads, fuck i do, i'm saying don't get catch and publicised cause it brings a bad rep for the sport

JudgeK said:Can you believe they mentioned a fatal semi trailer crash to make some half arsed comparison. A politician said there are footpaths for pedestrians, cyclists, and others to use. (cycling on the pavement is illegal!!)They really have no idea and the cops are so brainwashed it's funny when they come out with the party line," it's idiotic and dangerous and should be done elsewhere."
