How nice of the etnies skatepark of Lake Forest, CA to let us know what’s up. If mandatory full pads and beautiful steel bars caging you in weren’t enough, they just announced more fun stuff coming in 2007. Time to have a nice birthday party:

Birthday Party Packages – The Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest is proud to offer three birthday party packages. Each package is designed to best suit each party’s needs. All Packages are for up to 10 participants. Each additional child will cost $20 up to a maximum of 20 participants. Each party will last for 2 hours.

Let’s see… Cute birthday parties, wednesday BMX nights, band nights with mandatory donations, 2007 waivers, photography policies, skate camps, snowboarding trips and unsolicited e-mail newsletters… Awesome. And on top of that, the good folks over at etnies have absolutely no control over the matter.

Nick Gates, a major force in helping to make skateboarding suck. Thanks dude.
