this place is a pox on old town and needs to go as it attracts an unwanted criminal element. Ask the Mary Wilcox Center or Youth Commission employees on the problems the skate park attracts. Ditto Monrovia PD on the problems associated with skaters and the skate park.
Wow - whatever happened to relating to youth and helping kids have safe, positive recreation? Let's focus on the positives, here, please!! It is those such as the posters above that I wish would go, not the skate shops!
I'm amazed by the quick judgement of some people who base what they believe to be facts on their own assumptions. On a typical Saturday, I talk to many kids who come into Stix, some of who are dealing with domestic issues that far outweigh anything I ever had to deal with as a child...but I listen without judgement. The problem with the youth today has very little to do with the choices they've made but the choices our parents have allowed them to make. Stix is nothing more than a home many kids like better than their own. So before you pass judgement on Stix or even the youth in Monrovia, be it a skater or not, I ask you only to think twice about where the true problem lies...
Skateboarding is not a crime. regards george khoury owner info@stixrideshop.com
