Well, the first part is pretty tough.
Many people trade in their skateboards for cars when they are old enough and have the money.
To answer the second question, Nuz took to the streets, asking local kids whether or not they skateboard. We queried at random a total of 50 boys and girls aged 12 through 18. Seventy percent said they skate. The skaters have you on that one, Mdme. Skateboarding is a major local business enterprise that translates into hundreds of local jobs and tens of thousands in city sales-tax revenues, which are the lifeblood of our city government.
