Okay, so this week has been absolute hell. So Monday, it got like really really nice out, and i decided to start digging the jump and fixing it. I had this jump for years and i decided i wanted kind of a dirt spine deal. So i took out the landing and all kinds of stuff, filling in holes in the field. Making it really nice. Security guy rolls up, asks what I am doing, I tell him, and just like that, he leaves. So i continue. I made the jump PERFECT. I was really stoked with how it felt, the lip was super steep, just like a perfect spine. The landing dipped down pretty far into the ground too, i had like the top of it on the backside of the jump and dug down into the ground to make plenty of room for landing. It was a bit more mellow than the lip, of course. It was literally amazing. I was the only one who got to ride it, sadly. Next day, Tuesday, security guy rolls up and the head of security is with him. He asks what I'm doing and i tell him. We talk for a while and he says that he is fine and understands why I'm here. And that he would be willing to help us even get a skatepark. My brother was with me for that too.
So next day, April 1st, i'm FINALLY done with my classes, its about 3 and I'm blowing off the stress of class with a good session on the spine. I was really killing it too. The jump was finally packed just right and about 10 minutes in, i see police cruisers rolling up around the parking lot, security and a little green bulldozer. The first thing i thought was, "holy shit, someone has a meth lab!" Then as the bulldozer got closer i thought "Well God damn, this is one elaborate April Fools joke." Then they started crashing into the jump with the bulldozer, Immediately My phone is out. I start taking a video for instagram and say "Welcome to Bethany College, Where if you have a dream, we will crush it!" So i'm like rolling around the parking lot, not sure wtf to do and this young officer comes up with his cuffs out and i'm thinking "holy shit this guy is trying to arrest me!" So i say "Whoa whoa whoa, I'm a student here dude!" He asks for my ID and shit and i don't ride with that because my house is literally right next to this area and i explain that. He says that i could be taken into custody for trespassing and i step into my yard, next to where his car is parked and he then goes to the little book and the other cruisers are around and the head of security is going "This is what happens!" and after about 30 minutes he has FINALLY found the law in his little book and writes me the ticket. Judging by how he is acting, he doesn't think it is right at all.
At this point, my mom and dad are both outside. My dad is standing there next to me, My mom is screaming at the security people and this guy, Sven, that initially made the problem apparent. After I get the ticket, my blood is boiling. I was calm up until that. I'm in my yard just screaming "Fuck this God damn college and all the faggot ass people who run it!" And "Fuck you Sven D'yeong, suck a fucking dick!!"
The jumps are flattened. With no warning. I'm pissed. These jumps have been there for so many years. And not until now it is a problem. It's barely even campus, it's a parking lot.
A trespassing ticket in this state in this county can be up to 750$ and up to a YEAR in jail. For being somewhere on a campus that I am enrolled in.
Sorry for the long read, but this is a serious, SERIOUS problem. I have already made my mind up, I already hated this college before this, but NOW, i am DEFINITELY not returning in the fall. This is a ridiculous WASTE of tax dollars and the most immature thing I have seen from this college yet.
There is rape, drug abuse, and so much underage drinking, and they choose THIS to fight about. It's fucked up.
I actually made a series of instagram videos making fun of this college, but i took them down, in fear that when i sue the college, there will be a problem.
Thanks for reading. Stay OUT of school, kids. They'll just fuck you over in the end and they didn't want me suing for a liability, well now I'm suing for THIS.
