WebX Reedsburg Needs a Skatepark 20211217 Transcript

- I started skateboarding in 1989. It wasn't like a popular thing in rural Wisconsin. The police, they would chase you out, and give you a ticket, tell you how terrible everything that you're doing is. 

But there were no skateparks. And the city, I think, was ready to let us know that we needed one, as well, so we would leave the movie theater parking lot, and take it somewhere else.

When I was a sophomore in high school, a friend of mine, he was going to have everybody sign a petition, and then we're going to march down to City Hall, and we're going to let them know that we're getting a skatepark. 

And I'm not kidding you, those chairs were filled. and the skatepark was built in the summer of 2001.
