Why do so many people hate skateboarders? 

I'd rather have these kids practicing their moves in public parks than have them doing crack in the alleys. They have a place to go, people to hang out with, and goals to accomplish.  They are getting out, getting exercises, and staying out of trouble.

 I say let them be!  Encourage the skateboarders! Cool

AS long as they are not defacing anyone's property, not smashing into pedestrians, and not causing raucous, I am perfectly fine with the skateboarders. Nice post.

I think people hate them when they destroy public property by treating everything with a handrail and a flat surface as a skate park.

As far as I'm concerned, if they're in a designated skate park, more power to them.

Are there really designated skate parks in Boston?[smiley=wink]

You know the new park in front of the county jail (near TD Bank North Garden)? I actually find those skateboarders pretty courteous. They always make sure to stop and pick up their boards when I walk through.

Nashua Street Park - yeah, same experience here.

but the concrete siding has turned all black from their boards. isn't that defacing public property?

the day i see them wiping that down with wet cloth after they are done, i will support them.

The thing is once they are done with their skateboarding they are doing their crack in a back alley
