A skater kid was escorted out of a Las Vegas mall by security and ended up leaving without his skateboard.

The skater was being led toward the exit, one of the guards reached down and snatched the board right out of his hands.
For anyone who knows skateboarding culture, holding a board by the trucks is basically a rookie thing.
According to skater rules, if you grab it that way, you are instantly a poser.
So take note and hold your board like you mean it, even if you are just walking through a mall.
Of course, the security guard probably has no idea about any of that. He was not there to do his thing. He was there to enforce mall rules, which apparently includes taking temporary custody of skateboards when someone isn’t supposed to be skating inside.
The skater left the mall empty-handed and maybe a little embarrassed, while the board found itself in the custody of someone who has never done an ollie in their life.
In the end, it was a small, funny clash between skater culture and mall rules.
One skater walked out minus his skateboard, and security walked away holding something that, in any other setting, belongs in the hands of a skater.
