Not everyone in the Westminster community is excited about the four wheeled visitors for a number of reasons including a fear for safety, privacy, community and more. Liability is also an issue. Westminster is a small campus that has what skaters are looking for. They come to shred the stairways, hand rails, manual pads and probably to look at the pretty girls. Local skateboarder Ben Moxham said, Theyre just looking for the next cool location. They mean no harm. Usually the skaters do not mean mischief. What they may not know is that their presence could create unintended consequences.
