Skate mob attacks two pro riders in Denver Colorado

From the desk of Van Dewitt:

My two closest friends in Colorado where attacked by 20+ skateboarders at the Denver skate park on 4/14/2010 around 8-9PM. The attackers ranged in age from mid teens to mid twenties all wielded skate boards as deadly weapons. One of our teammates suffered severe injury's fractured L2 and L3 vertebrae in his back - fractured elbow,brain swelling and bruising from repeated blows from the skateboards.

What you can do:

• Its only a matter of time be for some one brags about what happened. Lets find them...Please help search the web for any witnesses or clues to the assailants that assaulted the two riders. Twitter, myspace, and facebook may be a good start.

• Contact the Denver police department and express your outrage about the lack of proper security in the Denver skate park. This was not the first assault this month and it wont be the last unless we speak up!!! Denver Police Administration: (720) 913-2000 Press 1 and ask for district 6.

• We should all contacting the Colorado local Media / News. Its only a matter of time before some one is killed if we don't act!

Please, every rider that reads this message, PLEASE contact the Police and the Denver News and help our friends!!!!!
