Hilo Skate .. One push Closer.

I am not a subscriber to the Trib, but when I clicked on the link there was a banner at the top of the page regarding subscriber exclusives.  After another click to learn more, one of the available options was a free account sign up so you could access 10 premium stories a month for free.  I don't have a clue as to what makes a story 'premium, but I was able to read about the skate park for free.

Premium stories and the Trib is an oxymoron. Good luck to them finding people who will pay to get access let alone having ten premium stories a month that can be read for free. It assumes they actually have a premium story every three days.

Neither Trib nor S-A have a real paywall anyway, they can be "hacked" with a "developer mode" that's built in to the browser.
