Like these guys said, just because they’re able to do certain things doesn’t mean everyone should do it. That being said, these guys shouldn’t go to jail.
A skater, unlike your typical pedestrian, experiences space just as intensely and consciously as an architect himself, albeit in a different way. He/she is alive to the possibility of space, not in its totality, as an architect would be, but as a collection of tactile surfaces to be jumped on, grinded, and conquered.

RideIt Sculpture Park Documentary
I grew up in a suburb of Detroit and this stokes me out beyond belief.
‘I’ve been teaching skateboarding for 12 years and seen what skateboarding can do for hyperactive kids,’ [Yoni Ettinger] says. ‘There is a big movement here in Israel to give Ratlin to kids who appear hyperactive. I’ve seen very hyper kids take to skateboarding. It gives them focus and allows them to thrive. That’s better than any drug!’
