I love skateboarding, I like all that tricks you can do, I like it because you are alone, you do what you want and where you want, you are free, there are no rules thats say do that or do this.
What do you think about skateboarding and why ?
A lot of people in my country thinks that skateboarding is for kids, but thats not true. Love for this sport often starts when you are kid. When you train a lot you can do more tricks, you grow up and love for skateboarding never leaves you, when you are adult, you can do insane tricks (if you trained a lot) and even earn money from skateboarding. My level of skateboarding is low, but it's a young sport here in Lithuania, and I am one of firsts.
Well Skateboarding is certainly no Game is a Sport there is a difference, and its "X" means Extreme which means you can get really really hurt doing it.
Skatebording has earn its place as a competitive sport and there are many crossover atheletes who Skate, Surf and Snowboard.
Its Certainly has some ways to go as for Propularity in the sports world compared to the big boys but it has certainly made its mark and is here to stay for a while at least!
Growing up in the country I never got to skateboard but now I am in the city and I am to scared to try. Realization of mortality is why.
Any one who thinks it is not a sport should jump on one and hit a 45 degree slope and see if they make it.
Hats of to you Trini808 I know you have put in lots of effort to master a board. As far as it being for kids from what I have seen it can be very expensive, once you get into a high tech skateboard. Even a decent board seems to run into the $200.00 range.
