How do you think our Miami community looks upon to the skateboarders?

CHRIS: In my opinion, we are looked down upon. The community thinks that most skaters for start are delinquents and drop outs. We are just a few kids that have a passion. We may get loud and go into private properties, but hey if you build a perfect skate spot then that’s your fault.

ROY: I think they just look at us as annoyances but my opinion is that we shouldn’t get in trouble for skateboarding as a basketball player shouldn’t get in trouble for playing on a basketball court.
