This is just wrong as a Human!

Oh hell

Super messed up. I love denver but the city skatepark is not patrolled enough/public enough. it's brand newish but it feels like all the old skate spots that got shut down. weed and beer and frontside grinds.

Very, very sorry to hear about that, Dirt Dave. Please pass the best wishes of kiteATBers in denver area.

Very sorry to hear this! I'm getting too old to deal with mobs. That is why i have been exercising my right to bear arms.

Damn Straight, this really pisses me off, I agree that the way to handle this is though the legalities of reports and such, but next time I would bring my 1911, and a bunch of friends and see how tough they are then!

Stuff like this is bull#@%$#! that should never happen, I hope those kids get what they deserve.

+1 on the right to bear arms.

Gangs/ mobs or whatever you want to call them need to be dealt with big time.

I hope they can get at least some of the bastards and throw the book at them.

This country is full of punks.

I've got a sig P220 that says they aren't so tough...

I hate when things like this happen! Its punks like that who give ANY form of extreme(ish) sport a bad name...

Best wishes to Dave and Devin, heal up quick guys!

i'll never understand mans inhumanity towards his own species.......yet you see evidence of it everywhere.....how utterly sad......

If you guys can join in and help email the official in the Denver area it will help also check surfingdirt.com & ground industries facebook page for information

kited a bit at clement park (littleton CO) and before I started I told the skaters at the skate park there to avoid denver city skate park, that it was dangerous, that three people had been violently attacked by a mob of skaters, and that two of the victims were also boarders. If they heard anything, anything at all, call the DPD

Spreading the word. Very, very sorry to hear about this #@%$#!.

Sucks pea-brained cave-man in-group mob mentality ...

guys get well ! you guys will heal ,

the FEAR that lives in those who hate will be ruled by FEAR all there lives, and they will never heal. living in fear and hating is hell on earth.


maybe they want burn too long.....may choice and reason arrive for them.

as some one said on their forum" this makes me ashamed to skateboard" and as a person who skateboarded for a long time i feel the exact same way, im just glad to say i wasnt your typical "bad attitude" punk/idiot.

makes me never want to step on a skateboard in public again

Here is a copy of the letter I sent. Feel free to modify or even copy if it's easier. The more reaction they get to this the better:

Good afternoon,

I live in Arizona and yesterday received news of two of my friends
getting brutally beaten at a Denver skate park. The attack happened
about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at the park, 2205 19th St., on the edge of
downtown Denver near Coors Field. If this was a simple fight I would
simply feel bad that it transpired. However this was more than a minor
assault, this was gang violence on two innocent citizens. The apparent
lack of concern from the DPD is quite shocking. After reading the
article written about the event in the denver post and Mr. Jackson's
included response it is apparent that this isn't being taken as
seriously as it should be. What if this was a fellow officer or an
officer's child? This would have pulled front page headlines!
Neighbors and others would be outraged! The two victims are well known
and respected in the mountainboarding community and have done much for
our growing sport. They were regulars at this particular skate park
and were there that night with their children who witnessed the
beating. Imagine having to watch your father receive repeated blows to
the head and back without being able to do a thing about it!

I have been told that this is the second large group assault at this
location in the last month. This hardly qualifies as an isolated
incident and while I do not live in Colorado I am greatly concerned
for the many people (and many friends) that want to use these
facilities peacefully and cannot or will not due to the threat of
violence.

Please take a look at the article I have referenced in this e-mail.
There are many of us across the world who respect these two men and
what they have done in our community.

This is an issue that can and should be addressed before someone else
gets hurt.

Thank you in advance for your attention and action on this matter,

ground industries' facebook page mentioned that some people came forward, and there were a couple of warrants issued
