In Defences of Skateboarding: A teenager's manifesto!!! Skateboarding might be one of the most stereotypical sports there is. If you play basketball and someone says "how, your to short?" you can just be like there is other positions. Skate boarding is completely different because people do not think of tall people, or fast runners. No, they think of nasty, sweaty, tattoo covered people who say rude things and have rude actions.
Most people that skate started off as kids going to a local skate park and learning a few tricks. Then, they grow up fall in love with it and do it until there 50 just like some old guys at the skate park. Everybody loves it that's out there. It is really dangerous, but that's just like soccer, or volleyball just in different ways. I think because so many people are concerned about obesity and still preventing their kids from exercising. I guess I'm in between being in defence of skating and fitness.
I don't know how to skate, but I know how to rip stick! Which is easier?
