skateboarding

I started skateboarding just a few years ago, can't say I'm very good at it but its enjoyable. Does anyone else here skateboard?

I do in the summer but I'm not very good at it.

I started skating in he 8th grade, so It's been 4 1/2 years. I took a break for a little while to focus on music, and because I moved away from all my friends and I didn't know anybody here when I first got here. But I'm starting again. It's a great way to relieve stress, and it's a great sport. Takes a lot of skill.

i been skating almost 10 years. last year i actually got a sponsorship and was on the verge of going semi pro, but i honestly dont think im good enough to go that far. plus i injure to easy.

i just quit it cuz i am tired skateing for my frends team 🙁

awh...i'm terrible at it....caught quite a few nasty falls and gave up.
almost broke my ass (well...at least as much as you CAN break an ass, in th first place 🙂 )

yeah you can never technically be a good skater unless you've fallen...hard.

that's not true. A lot of people can go a long time without falling. But it's impossible to never fall.

so ur saying u got sponsored at what 16? and quit... and if u were sponsered how were you on the verge of going semi-pro thats how u go pro you get sponsered and compete

I skateborded since I was 4 my friends say i kick ass but i think im not that good!!!! 🙁

Just because you are sponsored doesn't mean you are pro. It is very common to have sponsors that don't necessarily pay you, but they give you merchandise. To become pro you actually have to declare that you are pro. It's actualy a legal term.

i got it the wrong way round ✅

and people much younger than me have got sponsorships, in fact i knew a 13 year old kid who got one. its a big thing in my community.

skateboarding sucks... it's for punk rockers and gothics

really? wow no offence but you are dumb.

how

you can't classify skaters with punkers and goths....they are totally different kinds of people.

And regarding the "groms"...i think there is a 13 year old kid that's actually pro. He kicks ass and gets wicked scores partially because he pulls technical tricks, and also because he's got killer balance on rails and coping.

There is a 9 year old boy who is sponsored. His name fails me right now, but he's very good.

Not all punks and goths are skaters, and not all skaters are punk or goth.

skateboarding is a terrible sport. skateboarding is 4 dumbasses who can seriously get hurt. i'll just laugh when tony hawk tries 2 do a stunt and then falls and breaks his neck(not really) but I'll laugh if he breaks his arms or his legs

well if you've got such a problem with it get the fu'ck outta this thread

how bout no this is a thread 2 talk about if it sucks or if u like it
