Skateboarding is not a crime...... $287 fine

The other day Jo and I went to the University of Alberta to do some filming. After about 15 minutes of warming up Jo was getting pretty close to the first trick that he had wanted to film, when BAM! security showed up. We quickly gathered our belongings and fled the scene with the the Peace Officer in hot pursuit of us. He was close enough that we could hear him on his radio - "Yep, they're running......two males......need backup...." hahaha. Now I'm certain that Jo could have made the Canadian National Track Team as he was at a leisurely jog to allow me to catch up. Mind you, I was carrying a backpack and a camera in my hand, but as I caught up with him all he said was, "we need to run faster." The two of us made it to the street which I thought was off the property when another car aka "backup" pulled in. They accused us of stealing from the building, because otherwise we "wouldn't be running" according to them. After a thorough search of my bag they were certain that nothing had been stolen and after a brief search in their records it came up that I had skateboarded there before. $287 ticket for "trespassing" - thank you very much U of A. Unbelievably stoked! I'll be posting Josiah's warmup tricks later this evening as well as a few other vids that I've been procrastinating on. If you don't see a video update this evening....punch me in the balls. That's all for now folks
