I WOULD like to express my point of view on the apparent skate stoppers that have been put in place at the Octagon.

If you have seen them, you would realise how ugly they make the concrete and general area around the Octagon look, not to mention how they have easily been taken out by a lot of the skateboarders/ skaters who skate the area around the Octagon.

The skate stoppers seem to have 'vandalised' the concrete more than the actual skateboarding of the area ever has.

Many people (skateboarders and non-skateboarders) have told me how ridiculous they think the actual idea is. Or should I say was?

I would like to know anyone else's feedback on what they think of the skate stoppers.
