I use to BMX and loved it, but i wouldn’t wake up at 6AM to get up and ride our halfpipe. Just waiting until 9AM is the answer. The veteran skater just didn’t want to skate with the rookie skaters I bet.

Skateboards have been around since before WWII.

I — Granpa ME — had one as a child. And there are saggy, grey old-timers who still skate.

Noise from the vehicles are more disbursed up and out then any noise created under an object, like the freeway ramp. People that live on the first two stories of any buildings in the general area of the park are subjected to a higher volume of noise.

The difference is regular droning white noise (freeway/traffic) versus irregular skateboard noises (landing/power sliding on concrete, etc). It’s not so much the decibel level, rather it’s how your brain perceives it. This oceans waves, which may be loud if your sleeping in the beach, versus an quiet irregular buzzing sound in a hotel room. You will not be able to sleep with the irregular noise. Your brain is hard wired to “wake up” because irregular noises usually mean DANGER!

With that said, it’s not THAT loud, and the after hours skating has been significantly reduced to the point where I hardly notice it at all.

I don’t get why that’s so hard for some to fathom.

This is a joke, right?
