No shit. In the 70's & 80's, if you took your Mongoose to some leftover pieces of board your father left in the garage, it was on you. Nowadays, they're suing Mongoose, the Wal Mart it was purchased at, the 64-year old guy getting paid $12 an hour to put a Mongoose together, Home Depot, U.S. Concrete Company, the homeowner's association, the city, the county, the United States and every neighbor that didn't warn you about being a jackass before the jump.

I was a GT or PK Ripper rider. But, I always wanted a Haro race bike.

Addendum: My brother built a half pipe in our backyard. We had everyone over on boards or bikes. The chaos and injuries. But, no parent ever said a word.

Soccer isn't the only biz in limbo.

Knock Knock, anyone home? My question is who is asking on kids soccer behalf? Disney and Berry have folks at least asking the State, "Were ready to open for business." I think the kids are ready to play soccer, For Pete Sakes.........

Disneyland stuck ‘in limbo’ waiting for California theme park reopening plan from state

'We are ready to open responsibly, it is the time to open responsibly and it's important to open responsibly,' says Disneyland resort president Ken Potrock.

Knott’s Berry Farm frustrated with lack of California theme park reopening plans: ‘We’re ready to open’

'Every time we ask them, "Can you help us understand what's going on here and why we can't open?" They just keep saying to us, "Well, you're different,"' says Cedar Fair regional vice president Raffi Kaprelyan.

The problem with Disneyland is that once you go there it's the whole ball of wax. You'd have a hard time telling people they can send their kid to Disneyland, but not to school or outdoor sports. You'd have a hard time telling the outdoor arenas they can't even open at half capacity. You'd have a hard time arguing to the churches they can't reopen at full capacity. You remove any justification for keeping the playgrounds closed.

California already saw that with the nail salon industry....if you open hair salons it's really hard to say no to the nail salons. What's worse is that everyone knows viruses tranmit at Disneyland due to the measles outbreak there. And we also know from Disney fan behavior over Labor Day in Downtown Disney that they will congregate.

So what's happening here is that California is caught between a rock and a hard place, with places like Anaheim screaming to open it up, but places like La County screaming to keep it closed (Universal would be next and they know the knives will be out for the schools to be open...remember La County isn't even giving elementary schools waivers). Think of the visuals: kids frolicking at Disneyland (which even in lower capacity can get congested at spots) then images of schools closed.

Who in LA County is screaming to “keep it closed”, the Mayor? Cause the people (outside of maybe the homeless who have thrived under this shelter in place) want it open.

Not arguing with you at all, but is that 1/19 a general number? Or specific to high risk? Not that either one is ok.. I'm just trying to understand.

Nothing there but math. 94.7% survival rate means 5.3% do not survive. 5.3% means 53/1000, or about 1/19. So, if people over 70 have a 94.7 survival rate, that’s just another way of saying 1 out of 19 people die.

I shouldn’t have responded. The thread has been killed by covid, and I helped.

And yet just down the road, Sea World is open.

They can try and distinguish Sea World Calling it a "zoo". San Diego is in the red and doesn't draw from LA County. And it's "Disneyland". When this thing started remember Disney tried to get a special exemption for Disneyland on crowd exemptions and there was that push back. The problem is Disney is an icon everyone can point to in making their argument. The visuals are horrible too. Hence the foot dragging.

Sea World is "open" kinda. There are a lot of attractions that aren't. I believe the SD Zoo and Safari Park are open as well.

Only word my parents said was "well that's gonna hurt for a while". Getting hurt at your buddy's was a way of life... Had a few GT's and always liked the Rippers, But my favorite was the Redline with flights and Skyway's....

Remember when Haro was the thing? I was always a GT guy or dreamed of owning one cause it was a local company and Gary Turner and his brother lived there when I was a kid but never got to own one my parents wouldn't hook me up I had a Schwinn bmx but put some sick CW handle bars on it and cruised around like the poser I am. Now I got a free agent cruiser I hop the city curbs on.

Mongoose vs. Red Line

My neighbor has had a bicycle left in the driveway, with a "FREE" sign on it, for over 3 weeks now. Fucking kids won't even steal it. Probably don't know what it is.

Ride and die on my Mongoose. I have 4 bikes in my garage for my kids that haven't been ridden in months. Growing up I stayed on my bike til the street lights came on. Its all about Tiktok these days!
