When will our Las Vegas NM City Council members listen to our skateboarding community? “I think skateboarding is a far more profound revolution than people give it credit for. The wonderful thing to me is that these young people discovered that they themselves will creatively adapt to the environment they’ve already found. The whole notion of adapting to the environment is almost contrary to the basis of our civilization. You skateboarders are the leading edge of a revolution of the human being’s relation to his or her environment. What you already have done is to reinvent the idea that a human being can create spontaneously out of their own interior feelings a movement, through whatever environment happens to catch their fancy, which is built on the creative application of the human body, moving through an environment and relating to it.” —Edmund Bacon, Urban Planner (May 2, 1910 – October 14, 2005) https://youtube/watch?v=_qK_dOZYM1g
