There's a "no skateboarding" sign outside nike town in my city.

dont neglect to recognize the this is nike SKATEBOARDING
not to be confused with the bloodsucking corporate honchos
at just plain old nike. nike SKATEBOARDING. the realness.
peace.

ps: nike, the same people who bought converse and now
pay people less to make chucks but sell them for more.
