Save the skate

After about 10 years, we finally got a new indoor skateboard park in my hometown Bollnäs. The old one was a hazard to skate in. No air-condition, very small, low roof, broken banks and curbs and all that jazz.
Leif, the "caretaker" of the park has worked his ass of for years to get new equipment and a new, larger location. In 2008 he finally succeded. The new Gumpels Skatepark is one of the largest in Sweden and is absolutely amazing, with loads of kids in there everyday.
Loads of money from sponsors and city has been put in it and now, while some parts are still being built, the city council has apparently decided to tear it down to make space for a new icehockey venue (in fact it's really a bandy venue, but since non-scandinavian doesn't know what bandy is, I'm gonna call it ice hockey).
The thing is that we already have a nice place for ice hockey about 3 minutes with car from where the skatepark is located. And that is apparently too far so now they wanna tear the skatepark down to make way for a new ice arena. And that sucks.
So I urge you all to sign this petition to save skateboarding in Bollnäs. Just put in your name in the "Namn" box and your city in the "Stad / Ort" box.

Thank you.
