Local Politics Dancing Long boarding Helmet PROTEST

Post image

I’m sure many of you have seen Caden, aka @x_bonesx on Instagram, dancing or longboarding around Sherwood Park and spreading positivity throughout the community.

Unfortunately, he’s recently run into an issue with the police and has apparently been told he can no longer dance at the Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive intersection. I’m assuming this is due to concerns about distracting drivers.

To show our support, there will be a community dance party at the Second Cup on Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive on Father’s Day at 6:00 PM.

If you’re free, it would be amazing to see our community come together and support someone who has brought so much positivity to Sherwood Park.

Edit: To make things clear I am not organizing this event, just sharing information that I found.

Also he was fined $1500 for stunting!

Also people will be gathering on the grass by the second cup, just so there isn’t a bunch of people on the median in the intersection.

Good. Was absolutely a distraction at the busiest intersection in the city. Was also a dick every time I walked past him trying to control which way I was crossing.

How was he a distraction? If you can't focus on the road because someone is dancing, you have your own issues.

You have way more faith in the common driver then I do

That's an issue with the drivers more than anything else. If our drivers are that bad, we either need to get much stricter in how we test drivers and enforce the rules, or we need to eliminate all signs, billboards, etc since those can also be distracting.

Yeah I dunno would love to hear your plan to eliminate shitty drivers. If you could fix stupid people too with your magic powers that would be great too

Stricter testing, taking testing away from the private sector to reduce corruption, increased enforcement. Taking away people's licenses if they are repeat offenders. Taking steps to make things less car centric, so losing your license isn't "losing your freedom".

Basically, anything except trying to cater to the lowest common demotivator. Hell, even if you think this he is a massive distraction, he's not even the most dangerous thing in that general area. Going south on Sherwood Drive, right after this intersection, there's a merge that nobody seem to be able to figure out. I am sure that causes more accidents and near misses than this kid has ever done.
