Don’t forget the crusty barney who has not washed his pads since ’87, when Tony Hawk signed them. Or talk to you about all the different colourways of Jeff Grosso boards he has in his basement that his wife won’t let him hang on the wall. That’s right, I’m calling you out, Buffet King!!

You forgot the snakes. Kids usually 9-13 that are pretty good for their age but think they’re God’s. They have to be good and young enough to be arrogant but not experienced enough to have ever been hurt or actually really challenged by anything yet. They make it their personal goal to make the park a creepy experience for anyone who isn’t them or the one pro who they think is their equal but secretly hates them. Notorious for cutting anyone and everyone off…then laughing when you fall trying not to trample them.
