Ticketing skaters is nothing more than harassment by the police and should not be tolerated. Many cities have forgiven all skaters tickets and stopped the police from issuing more. Police should spend their time fighting real crime not raising revenue for the city. Many police refuse to write tickets for skateboarding and have actually stepped up to help the kids get skateparks. All tickets should be fought by the skater - see our sight under tickets.
Many cities require skaters to raise the funds to build their skatepark.
The kids have been very successful but unless the city required the tennis players, swimmers, soccer players, little league, toddlers etc. to raise funds for their facilities then you have a civil rights issue. You need to contact your local bottling plant for information and in exchange offer exclusive vending machine rights. It does not cost the consumer anything. You will need to be non profit for this so you might want to do it through your schools or local churches.
