Right-wing YouTuber is transforming a small town
Tim Pool — a deep-pocketed right-wing video sensation — got in a dispute with the skaters and bought the land the skate park sits on. Skateboarding in Martinsburg has never been the same.
Pool’s purchase of the improvised skate park has riled skateboarders in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle, where he lives — and sparked a debate about both how much politics and how much of Pool’s money belongs in skateboarding.
Pool downplayed the controversy in an email to The Washington Post.
“The issue seems to be solely with a few people who don’t like me personally,” Pool wrote, pointing to some repairs he’s made to the concrete since the purchase. He claims most of his detractors live outside the town.
