Because we just want to skate


MAY 10!
that's right ( after getting prompt responses from several members ). Hopefully by then everyone would have finished their exams and we could all carry on continuing this favorite past time of ours.



Anyway, if you're reading this post at this point of time when you should be mugging, it would be safe to assume that you're either really bored or maybe your papers are over. So to keep you entertained, being varsity students that we are, here's a link to an interesting read with regards to skateboarding:


The Poetics of Security: Skateboarding, Urban Design, and the New Public Space

"An office worker contributes his labor and ensures the functioning of the city; an office worker is productive. A skateboarder, on the other hand, gets in people's way and chips up benches; a skateboarder is destructive. Given that the downtown is zoned for commercial use, it is clear why the design of open space should consider an office worker a member of the public and a skateboarder a nuisance.." -

Happy reading !
