MEMORIAL PARK — Mike Spawn has called upon resident to ban to all extreme sports. “They are just too darn dangerous,” says the former skateboarder and motocross rider. His second thoughts started when he stubbed his toe on the way to his pedicure.

“If these types of accidents can happen in the middle of the day, just imagine what could happen at the city Skatepark.” He has suggested a newly invented bubblewrap suit for all that choose to put their bodies in harm’s way.
