To be brutally honest, I'd support prosecution of anyone who used one on a pavement over here. I almost allways use the road when I skate precisely BECAUSE I'm a good - and fast - skater and I'd hurt someone (most likely myself, given I'm the one on wheels, but) if I hit them at top speed. Sure, I hop back on the pavement to cross major roads, but I'm not going quickly then. I consider the things in the "gimmick" category.
