Repeal
Calilfornia SB 994 - Helmet & Pad Law
Petition is now closed - 10,000 signatures!
Before you read on, know that this law was never about safety, it
was about skatepark liability. This does not mean we are against,
wearing helmets, we believe it should be an individual choice and
that nobody should be fined or arrested for their choice not to
wear them. The law never put skateboarding on the Hazardous Recreational
List as we were led to believe which is all that's needed to free
public parks of liabilities. This repeal will do that. Click link
for more history. Note: The petition is for California residents
only, no need to be a registered voter but you should vote anyway!

justice, but you'll agree they are awesome shots. Way to go Christy!

they burned at least 50 rolls of film, but so many pics with such
little space! Hopefully we can see more some day! Thanks Mike and
Tim, needless to say, you rule!

City Jam, 2001 - by Rhianon Bader
Rhianon so kindly agreed to do only the writing for this year's
SCJ article, so we didn't get her a course media pass. As it turned
out we used her pics anyway, but she did a gull-dang-hella good
job, even without the best vantage point. Good girl Rhi! Thank you,
and welcome to the woes of being a professional non-paid Real Skate
contributor.
