Steelton Skateboard Cop

Posted on 2016/12/29 by Ray Young

That’s right…. Steelton police officer to do his beat on a skateboard!

Officer Art Etnoyer of the Steelton Police

In the spirit of Steelton’s move to embrace and connect with the times and the youth of today, Steelton Police officer Art Etnoyer will be doing his police rounds on a skateboard.

In a Steelton skatepark commitee meeting a few weeks ago (yep… you read that right, Steelton is getting a skatepark) Ray Young and Nathan Demuro (both of Get on Board) suggested that Steelton find a police officer willing to do his beat on a skateboard. The Borough manager Doug Brown, Commitee chair mike Segina, and Chie of Police Anthony Minium jumped at the idea. The next day, officer Art Etnoyer quickly volunteered to do the job.

Art is 39 years old, has been with Steelton for 10 years, and currently now a platoon supervisor in Steelton. He is also an Iraq air force Staff Sargent vet, he has worked as swat and was on the us marshal task force.

In all fairness to Joel Zwicky, this was not an original idea; yet, still it is new to this area. Get on Board skateboarding (our program to teach children with special needs skateboarding) first got exposed to the original skateboard cop a few years ago in Green Bay Wisconsin when we did an event there with Joel. Get on Board loved the idea and finally is teamed up with a progressive enough borough to implement Joel’s idea here on the East Coast.

Rayzor Tattoos has agreed to sponsor Art with the equipment to do the job, and Nathan DeMuro (VP of Get on Board) will be coaching Art with his skateboarding skills where needed.

Ray Young owner/operator of Rayzor Tattoos and skateshop getting interviewed by WGAL channel 8 news on his role in developing and supporting the soon to be Steelton skatepark.

Ray Young decided in 2002 to start selling skateboards out of the the tattoo parlor in Steelton to support the skating community. as the population of skaters in Steelton grew so did the interest and support of a public skateboard park.

Working with the borough of Steelton and the skateboard community, Rayzor Tattoos was able to quickly assemble a team of skateboard experienced consultants like Get on Board skatepark builder Matt Arment of Arment Concrete.

The team was able to be versatile and listen to the community and the Borough reps to confidently design a skatepark well within budget that will suit the needs of the skate community well.

First draft of the skatepark, notice NO BOWL. We were quick to remedy that. The latest design will feature a bowl. stay posted for updates

Why a skateshop in a tattoo parlor?

We grew weary of seeing a limited selection of skateboard equipment at these so called skate shops that seem to be nothing more than clothing stores, people only having the option of buying sub standard skateboards sold by sales people who didn’t know anything, and NO LONGBOARDS, that’s right folks Rayzor Tattoos was the first to bring longboards to the Harrisburg area.
