    Skateboarders


    SkateBored

    Everyone from cops to shopkeepers wants skateboarders to move on. Move on to where?


    Skateboarding is seeing a resurgence in popularity, and anyone who doubts it can cruise by the Hollywood Video at the intersection of Los Gatos Boulevard and Blossom Hill Road at the end of the school day for evidence. Of course, Hollywood Video isn't the only place kids skateboard. They go wherever they can, a migratory herd of teenagers, moving from one place to another. Why? Because every time they stop somewhere to skate, they know it's only a matter of time before a shopkeeper or a police officer asks them to move on. Adults rarely specify where the kids should go, but it's made clear that they need to get there as soon as possible. So the cyclical migration will continue until the dozens of local skateboarders are given a specific place to go.   More
