in my town we literally have one spot, but it is behind a grocery store and the cops get pissed if we go back there. one day, me and like 5 other people were grinding back there when a cop comes, we decided to just be chill and not run. but the cop was being a total dick. some other cops in my town are very understanding because we literally have NOWHERE else to ride, within like 10 miles. he gave me and my friends a $300 trespassing ticket. after sitting there for an hour, the cop made us call our parents to pick us up. when i got home i got grounded for a couple months, and on top of that i had to do a shit ton of yard work. this was during summer, and now since then i got 2 more tickets from the same douche bag for: 1) riding with no helmet 2) another trespassing (this time i was in an empty field, just drinking a monster) the dude is a total dick and is literally just looking for ways to get us in trouble.. (fyi: we always treat the landowners with respect, and they never call the cops, just Sgt. Duechbag is always posted behind places that we aren't allowed to ride at)
so after my third ticket, i had to go to some teen meeting thing once a week for 2 months. we all had to sit in a circle and discuss why we were there. all the other kids were telling full length storys and shit like "im here because I stole an xbox" or "i was caught injecting 5 whole marijuanas into my bloodstream." when it was my turn i said, "i was caught riding my bike behind Albertsons" Everyone there thought i was lieing or some shit, so i was just sitting there like a fucking idiot while everyone was staring at me waiting for me to finish my 'crime story'
so yeah, i guess i learned my lesson. but its such bullshit that theses cops are literally making biking illegal in my city, and we dont even have a park to ride. The closest one is 10 miles away, but only scoots and skates are allowed, and we get tickets if we try to sneak in. im Sorry if you read all that, i didnt mean to type a full length book.
