Scoring will be based on 3 tricks in 1 run.

bring “it”.

...as is proven over and over and over;

1)skateboarding is not a sport.

it's rebellion and FREEDOM.

it's about doing what you want

and telling "the man" to step off.

2)the people who treat it as a sport

(expecting respect, courtesy, non-smoking,

non-drinking, non-cussing) are more often

than not, quite disappointed.

and history continues to prove these points

again and again. and again.

The Contest is being held at The Swift Wheels Skate Spot, by the
Official Swift-Cantrell Skate Park Committee (Adam Wesolowski, Sam
Hood, Zak Cochran, and Steve Welsh) on November 22nd. Ambush, Mellow
Mushroom, and Drifter are sponsors.

For The Record…….Swift Wheels Skateboard Shop & Snack Bar funded
(through a pledge to the City Of Kennesaw), the money to have the
Swift Wheels Skate Spot built in Swift-Cantrell Park, for the skaters
to enjoy a safe (and free) place to skate. One of the reasons it was
built was so that the Skate Park Committee members could hold events
and contests to raise money for the concrete skate park. Swift Wheels
was to be a permanent sponsor. Makes sense right? We are funding the
facility and should at least be included on flyers and advertising for
the fundraising events. The City thought so too.

Levi Dills …who has not been officially appointed to the skatepark
committee decided to ask his buddies at Ambush to sponsor a contest
(the Mini-Ramp Contest) along with Drifter and Mellow Mushroom
…..Swift Wheels was not included and our logo was left off of all
the flyers

If Swift Wheels had not pledged to fund the Swift Wheels Skate Spot
and had it built …no one could hold a contest or event because there
would be no skate spot to hold a contest on …. Nor would the local
skaters have a skate spot to enjoy in Swift-Cantrell Park.

So …now we are hearing Ambush is holding a contest and we’ve been
told the skatepark committee is not including our company as a sponsor
of the event or our logo on anything.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT SKATE PARK COMMITTEE …We fund a facility for
you to fundraise with …and then not only do you hold your first
contest with another skateshop …you leave us out altogether …you
can’t even be decent enough to put our logo on the contest flyers.

It’s hard enough being a small skateshop in this economy without
getting kicked by the same people that you helped.

I hope the contest is a success and you raise lots of money
….however, this is not the way to treat people and businesses that
have supported your fundraising efforts to the extent that Swift
Wheels has.
