Think about it. What would you do if you are trying to win a match? Would you try and jump the crickets in order to keep them from jamming up your wheels or would you just go ahead and squish them in hopes that you wouldn't wipe out? It would really raise the stakes and ad a whole, new dimension to the sport. The audience would be further incensed. Some of them would be complaining of animal cruelty, while other would be rooting for skaters to bite the track. This could be just the thing to increase ticket sales.
