Where not to skate
Trevel posted,
Nelson is not the place to skate. As nice as the roads are
the cops are fucking assholes. Me and my girlfriend were
skating and a cop drove from out of no where pulled over
and demanded to give him our boards. We tried asking
him for a warning but he still demanded for them saying
that an off duty police officer said that we werent allowed
to board here. But all the off duty officer said to us was it
wasn't a good idea to ride here. So then the police officer
grabbed after my girlfriends board and she held on. She
didn't fight back she just held on to it and dropped to the
ground. The cop grabbed her around the neck and held
her in a chokehold and picked her up in the air until she
let go. Then he threw our boards in the back of his cop
truck and tried to charge us $127 per board. Later on we
went to the cop shop and talked to them. They wanted to
hold our boards for one day. But in the end we got our
boards back right away and only had to pay 55$ for both
of them. But we are not allowed ride our boards in Nelson.
So as a warning DO NOT SKATE IN NELSON. We werent
being idiots. We were on a dead rode with little traffic
spotting and wearing safety gear. Safety hoodies,
kneepads, gloves and full faces. He didn't give us a very
good reason why we were being charged either. It was a
bummer.
