The annual BROADWAY BOMB distance skateboarding event went great for its first 10 years, no injuries, no arrests! Just smiling faces. Since 2011 the Police interference is making an extremely unsafe situation for participants and the city at large! Once again the application for Race/Parade permit for Saturday October 11th has been denied, but that does not matter to the events participants, skaters live knowing that no matter where they are skateboarding is illegal, all you need is a cop to show up and say so.

For example a cop told me I couldn't skate on the sidewalk then the very next day a different officer told me I couldn't skate in the street? My point is WE GET IT! Skateboarding is pretty much illegal everywhere! So declaring the BROADWAY BOMB illegal only allows the police to tackle us, crash their vehicles into us, force us into pedestrian zones, sending us the wrong way down one way streets with steep hills, putting up nets only to knock us down and be given a verbal warning as consequence!?

Fact! There has never been a major accident or injury in the 14 year history of the BROADWAY BOMB! THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION! PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!!! We only ask as a positive loving and like minded community of skateboarders and longboarders to be left alone. Please back off NYPD, you are going to kill one of these innocent athletes if you don't.

Please sign this petition for a safer death free event on October 10th at noon 2015 called the BROADWAY BOMB!! Please help us NYPD! Please don't hurt us NYPD! I am just one person writing this.... But I am one of many who believes they should be able to skate for one day in NYC with skaters from all over the world!!!!
