    Top 10 Illegal Places to Skate in Arcata, CA

    by Sammy P. Kearns

    There are always those silent controversies that never end, yet don't get the attention they deserve. No, I'm not talking about explicit television or the drug war. I'm talking about skateboarding the wonderous and spamtastic streets of Arcata, CA. So to keep your mind occupied, and maybe change your view on this concept - which you shouldn't. I have cogitated up a list of those places us skateboarders will cherish in our hearts. They may have won the battle - but they'll win the war too, so don't try to argue with the city council. They're really very nice kind-hearted people deep down inside. I love them. Actually, I don't know them, but that's okay. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Anyway, here's a list of my top ten places in Arcata to illegally skate. (Get yourself a copy of the local chapter's lawbook, kids, and see for yourselves - skateboarding is, in fact, a crime.) Don't do anything I mention. Because you know I don't. Usually.

    ~~Safeway~~A nice smooth surface. Fun to play tag in. Watch out for people, shopping carts, and the security guards- (They're really nice, but they do their jobs well.)

    ~~Jacoby Creek School~~ What a shame. They immobilized spirits when they put all of the infamous "No Skateboarding" signs up. There's lots of potential here. I think I'll cry.

    ~~HSU~~ Rails, slopes, launch ramps, and an upside-down bowl disguised as a greenhouse. Not to mention a beautiful fountain that is conveniently never seeming to be working. Not even CCAT realizes the easiest ecological form of campus transportation.

    ~~Plaza~~ The whole plaza ordinance situation is making me sick. Give the bums their boards back, and maybe they'll leave. Think of the faces on those poor little kids that have just bought their first skateboard from the surf shop, and then get busted for trying it out across the street. It's traumatic.

    ~~Arcata Community Center~~ A wonderful place to discriminate the unfortunate, and unite everyone else. It's segregation. They are throwing their pickles in a windstorm.

    ~~Spotlight Video~~ It's like someone's rapscallion idea of a video game come true. Skate like there's no tomorrow. Boards, rails, and lots of blueprints. Not to mention a grindable cement truck. Yyyyyyeah.

    ~~Arcata High You win some, you lose some, you lose some more. It's just a high school, folks, nothing important. The curb are waxed, and decorated with little crossed-out pictures of skateboarders. And if you ever need to catch a train, the railroad is right there.

    ~~Lunar Skate Park~~ Closed from dusk till dawn. For the uneducated mind, that means no one else is there. It's just you, the park, and the stars. Harry Potter couldn't even beat that.

    ~~Veteran's Hall~~ Ever grinded a replica of a cannon? In memory of all our patriots, now you can. Just watch out for the monsters that eat you.

    ~~Arcata Community Pool~~ Pull the plug and you're all set. Just don't let the lifeguard see.

      Ya! School is finally out! It's a warm 70 degrees with no wind, the stars are bright, and the moon is full -- not a cloud in the sky! Since the BBS's aren't able to be logged on to until after everyone is asleep, why not get a friend or two and go outside?

      Wal Mart Theft: Spy Shoppers

      by Destiny

      First of all, I want to make it clear to you all how my shoplifting came about. I was homeless for a summer because my mom was on tweak so we got evicted. There was no food. And when I say no food, I don't mean that I really had a bunch of food that had to be cooked but didn't feel like it, I mean I really had no food. So my mom sent me into the grocery store to steal food for us. I went, I saw the food, and I conquered...

      Video Case Swapping

      Earlier this month federal police decided to raid my house and confiscate chemicals, computers and documents using a warrant stating that I had violated two terrorism codes; something along the lines of threatening a political personality and conspiring to fund terrorist acts. Although I never harmed a politician physically and never funded terrorism, I was still arrested for what I had said on a...
