The man responded with a fully-extended middle finger and told the officer, "Screw you, man, I'm concrete wave all the way!" The officers immediately acknowledged that skateboarding is not a crime, but activated their Tasers, anyway. "We like to hear them scream", reported one officer.
That is so upsetting to read. These slalom thugs are taking over!

lol I love it...weaving back and forth across the street and laying down on his board for wide sweeping turns...haha...if only the terminology was right
Thats hilarious, its funny because the 'main street' here is a really oldschool historic street on a big incline, and i just pictured you carving the #### out of it with all the cars going nuts behind you, and as i read on - thats basically what you did.
I want to shake your hand , sir.
