with this "not impressed" post, I've thought of a challenge.

Edit: OP http://i.imgur.com/annjurX.jpg http://www.reddit.com/r/skateboarding/comments/1c9kfr/not_impressed/

What if we collaborated on a safety and skatepark etiquette video to share with parents to try cut back on the crap. It should include many types of layouts and their flows while incorporating different sports and their physics. For example how bikers tend to sit around (often in the worst places) but how badly they could fuck up a little kid if it ran infront of the biker. Or the "BOARD!!" rule, and of course where to look before going.

Maybe we could get it on skateline/ ride channel to make sure as many parents see it as possible.

Another edit: Some of you seem to be missing the point of this. It isn't really for our safety; it's to educate the parents of these little shits and maybe have them NOT BRING THEM AT ALL. No 30+ adult wants to hear how it is from a younger person (I have a hard time getting them to listen at 28) and it never comes up till someone fucks up. This is just a way to get them to think about what they're doing.
