Now I try not to complain too much about the police, but I had a laugh this morning when they pulled me over because I was riding my skateboard in the street, something I’ve been doing for years anyway.
I was just getting back home from my Girlfriend’s house because she had to go to work. I checked my phone after they finished questioning me and checking my record and it was 7:30 am. They obviously had nothing better to do then to stop me and waste my time.
The funniest part about the whole ordeal was how serious they were, and how threatened they were by me as well. It was super early in the morning and I was really tired so I figured it would be OK to simply grab a seat on my board while they took my ID and checked my non-existent criminal record. Apparently, that was a bad idea.
The serious cop yelled at me to get up and go stand up against a fence. He proceeded to tell me that I wasn’t allowed to do that unless he said so and that doing something like that makes the police nervous. Now I don’t know about you, but if you were a police officer and you saw someone about to take a seat, would you really feel threatened? Probably not.
I think those cops had a wee bit too much caffeine cause they were really on edge. I’m a friendly guy on a skateboard wearing plain clothes, how menacing is that?
Anyhow, I think I need to take a nap now, getting pulled over by the cops for skateboarding has tired me out

Check out this clip from a Cliche Spain road trip.
There were no demos set up so they just went on tour to skate street. Sounds like a pretty good tour to me.
