![]() ![]() They would not provide us a cake/gift table and told me we could put the presents on the floor or in chairs and the cake at the end of a table. They still allowed us to have the party but tried to put us in a "semi-private" room that was missing doors so my party nor the other party was completely private. I booked a party 3 weeks with "old management" for my 7 young old daughter and today, the day of my daughter's party, we find out the management has changed and they no longer have the party we booked. If I am spending my hard earned money, I expect decent service. When I politely reminded the young lady behind the counter that we were still waiting for the one slice of pizza, she gave me a look like I was a nuisance, went into the back, came out and flipped the pizza onto the counter. My son waited 40 minutes for a slice of pizza. I felt as if I was bothering the ladies at the snack bar by asking to purchase food and drink. I would have taken service with eye contact. The snack bar employees are unaware that service with a smile goes a long way. ![]() The $8.00 admission is highest we have ever paid for skating in venues that were much nicer and bigger. If both parents are going and you both do not want to skate, be prepared to pay for one of you. They only allow 1 chaperone in without paying. I was going to book a party at SK8 City but decided we should try it first. I used to take my children skating frequently and would spend a lot of money on games and food. We recently moved to the area and were looking for a place to skate. We stayed there for about 45 minutes and decided to leave, to never return again! ![]() We decide to get some drinks at the concession stand and my coke was flat, just carbonated water I asked the young lady in the stand and she looked at me like I just insulted her mother. Once we got their attention they acted like it was a burden for them to take care of us, I guess they ratther go back to their conversation than taking care of paying customers. Getting the skates was an ordeal on itself, the staff behind the counter were just hanging out and chatting, it took a little while for them of acknowledge us. ![]() And the music was so full of foul language somehow somebody had the great idea to change the music and to turn it down, so we stayed. We go there and the music is so loud that I can barely hear myself think. We should turn around rigth there but our kids were looking forward to skate. I don't skate neither my wife but we were still requiered to pay full admission price, just to go supervise our kids! We tried to explain to the lady on the front that me and my wife were there just to supervise our kids to no avail. Clearly skateboarding is carving a place in pop culture, propelled by many unexpected sources.My wife and my two kids go there one afternoon. Nine years later the Brad Furman–directed “film,” “What Do You Mean?” in which pop idol Justin Bieber works a half-pipe, garnered more than 1 billion views. With his 2006 hit “Kick, Push,” originally written for a skate DVD, Lupe Fiasco aligned the skateboard-featuring music video with rap. Jan & Dean’s chart-making 1964 “Sidewalk Surfin’,” cowritten by the Beach Boys’s Brian Wilson, was an anomaly that predates the emergence of skate punk-hard, dark, loud-and MTV.Įven as the sport developed, and broadened its reach as skaters moved out of drained pools and parks, off of ramps, and onto streets, skateboarding retained a counterculture by-skaters, for-skaters appeal that resonated with indie acts like the Beastie Boys and Sonic Youth who featured skating in their music videos before Avril Lavigne “discovered” the appeal of the “Sk8er Boi” (a tradition followed by alt acts like Jason Schwartzman’s Coconut Records and Panda Bear). As the sport developed, so did its sound. Skateboarding, which grew out of surfing, has always been aligned with music. Video might have killed the radio star, but increasingly it is pushing skateboarding-an “outsider” sport, by design-into the mainstream. ![]()
