A skateboard definatly wouldnt do that damage. Theres never enough pressure applied on a skateboards end like that to create such damage, not in such a long scrape. The aim is to keep the back end OFF the floor afterall or it would just damage their skateboards.

I reckon bikes are a more likely cause than skateboards. BMX types with stunt pegs on the wheels.

Either way, I dont think skaters should be moved along off there. I know none of you will look at it this way but I think its alot better for them to play in a very well lit, CCTV area than the skatepark which has dodgy lighting, kids drinking and its just not a nice place to sit once its dark.

I would know, my friends used to skate in that park and the moment it'd start getting dark they'd move to broadway because of the lighting and how much safer it is.
