This article is a summary of the Louisville Skate/Extreme Park. The author is a local journalist who has attend a few competitions at the Skate Park and he claims that its a "Playground for Daredevils". Quote Bill Wolfe "Skaters, skateboarders and cyclists use the Louisville Extreme Park at their own risk and are required to wear protective helmets. No smoking, drinking, drugs or food are permitted within the park’s fenced skating area." A law that isnt enforced any more, I guess you could say, and it look passed because first off no one wears helmets unless you are doing 8 feet and over bowls, (those are were most of the injuries prolong at), second people sell drinks and food to the skaters for profit and the nearby skateshop is usually closed. Personally it whatever goes at the Skate Park, they even provide you with an emergency button (that I have accidentally ran into before). I dont know if it absolutly works but its there.
I could definitely put this as important information in my article because there are government rules but, they are not enforced which paradoxes to jay walking I guess. And in this article Wolfe was pretty much on point about all his facts. I would like for him to explain that there are 2 sets of stairs (i dont know if they are neccesarily there for skateboarding) but they are there and should be in the description of the park, due to the fact that many skaters and myself have done various tricks down the stairs.
