Skateboarding

[DJ Jack]

We all know what Skateboarding is. But, for those who don't know what it is, a SKateboard is a small board with 4 wheels under it aka Tony Hawk's invention. Well, I'm a Skateboarder and I like to ride it all the time. I actually went today, and right now I'm really tired. What is your opinion on skateboarding is the question right now. Also, do you skateboard, or have ever skateboard?

Haha Tony Hawks Invention. But I believe Stacy Peralta and the Z-Dogs or w/e the hell they were called started the skating trend. I may be wrong. Correct me if I am. Anyways I skate or sk8. I've been on/off for like a year and a half. But I believe skating is a great way to release stress. But you can seriously be hurt. Lol but I skate. and I had a skateboard, but its broken. I went to go buy a new one and ended up walking out with something else. Lol thats why I can't go shopping. Anyways I use my friends board at the moment until I get some money ^_^

I skateboard. I got a bam deck atm, with element feather light wheels, and some ABEC 7 bearings. Im not the street skater type of guy, i rather be at a skatepark, or around some form of ramp. I consider myself a slightly above the average skater. Im not anywhere near a pro level, but i can land most flips and grinds. And if you know who doug brown is, he was born in my town, and i hang out with him everytime hes in Wooster. And i have quite a few signed psters, tees, and a deck. ^^

Yea. Skateboarding is cool.

tony hawk psh
Thanks media!
"On August 17, 1993, patent #5,236,208 was issued to Thomas Welsh for a platform steerable skateboard." (http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bl_skateboards.htm) But "skateboard like items" have been around since the 30's
But, thats besides the point lol
I started skating about 7 years ago when I was 12. But gave it up when my dad had his knees replaced (bad knees run in the family) because I didn't want to have that operation any time soon. I like my OWN knees thanks you!
Its a great way to get excersise, and I do still ride around town, but I do not aggressively skate anymore. At one point I got second in a local skating tourney, so, I do miss it every now and then, especially when I see my friends, who I grew up with and learned how to skate with, enter into bigger comps and do street at tear up the place, oh well, sometimes we dont get what we want!
But I love it. Good times...

i used to skateboard when i had the time, i still have my last deck, Skull Skates Chad Timtim initial deck, if he even rides for them anymore, Independant trucks, Bones Platinum bearings,Spitfire gell 1"4 wheels.

still watch skate movies, fav is still the original Flip video Sorry.

BTW hawk didnt invent the sk8, it was the Z-Dogz, Peralta, and the great Lance Mountain.

Lol! Tony Hawks invent the skateboard? That's like saying Bill gates invented the personal computer lol.

I used to skate, I still have two board in my garage, one is a custom painted one which I er... painted myself, another is a Hud skateboard... Which until recently I thought was a PnH skateboard. (What, I always saw the logo upside down ) I painted that one too, to look like a Jamie Thomas deck. How sad. The only trick I could do was an ollie and a kickflip...

Anyway I don't understand skateboarding. It seems that all skatboarders have these huge bangs that covers their eyes. I do not understand how they see well enough to perform tricks!

XD! That's usually true. My brother is a well-known skateboarder round these parts. He doesn't have long hair though. He's always trying to get me to start skateboarding, but it's just not my thing I guess. I scraped my knee horribly once....ugh.

I can't skate to save my life, but I've tried. Even if I really got into it I'd never try to boardslide because I care about my testicles.

Road biking ftw

 

[The Clap]

I still skate abit, not very well but I can. Chocolate deck, Creeper Trucks, Birdhouse Jacked Bearings and some shitty wheels.

 

[BoysVsGirls]

On a side note I'm laughing hystarically at PlasbianX's signature because it's late.

Just to keep on topic though, I don't skateboard and I've grown to hate the tren because everyone here does it. AND THEY TOOK MY STYLE!
