It's a way of life.
Without a doubt.
It's way cooler than any other "real sport" out there.
Just admit it.
We push the pavement with our foot, all across the city.
This beautiful city.
Born on the streets, raised on the streets.
Stoplights.
Concrete.
Stair Sets.
Gaps.
Hip Hop.
Loading Docks.
Curbs.
Kickflips.
Parking lots.
Blood.
Handrails.
Hessians.
Street life.
Family.
Homies.
Love.
Future.
Respect.
You might not like us.
We're cool with that.
We are a different kind of people.
We are skateboarders.
I'm a skater.
I enjoy skateboarding.
A hoodlum.
A street kid.
You laugh at me because I am different, but I laugh at you because you're all the same.
For life.

An extreme sport that not any pansy can do as some fuck head said a few pages back, a sport that anyone can do however, is bmxing, remember, as a 7 year old your mother would ask you to ride your bmx down to shop to pick up some milk? Every fucking person in the world can ride a stupid bike, compare that to the amount of people who can even stand on a skateboard, let alone ollie up a kurb, LET ALONE KICKFLIP TAILSLIDE!
Any one can launch off a lump of dirt on a bike, cause the bike does all the work, but just ollieing on a skateboard is some pretty complicated physics shit that like less than 10% of the world can do.
Skateboarding is not a free ticket to being a cool rebel with chicks on both sides, it's only the best sport, artform or whatever you wanna call it, in the world.
And not all skaters are punks, most punks that I've seen just use a skateboard for transport but there are some awesome punk skaters out there. The majority of real skaters just dress casual or even gangster. I would never wear tight jeans cause loose clothing is so comfortable, but thats me.
Wow I really wanna go skating now, better wrap this up,
Skate for life!
Skateboarding:
Skater: "Im skating on a previously broken ankle, about to head up to buy a new deck, hopefully my pay came through."
BMXer: "My grazed knee is rubbing against my jeans, I'm gonna sit down for a while, My mum bought me this bike but shes not gonna buy me a new one if this one breaks so it better last."

1)NOT A SPORT
2)The only way into heaven, everything else youve been told is a lie.
That guy doesnt know how to skate therefore he does not know about skateboarding which insinuates he does not exist at all, he is only a faint illusion with-in one's vast immagination.

An extreme sport performed by extreme people. Takes alot of practice, commitment and quite often temper (especially when your skatepark is filled with children and bikers)
And why do people think skaters are bad people? Is it cause of the sport we love? The clothes we wear? The things we say?
Do they say the same about bmxers? No, and the only difference between us and them is they rest their genitals on a clumsy piece of bent metal with two wheels! Oh yea, and they're annoying cocky assholes who take up too much space in skateparks.
I probably wouldn't have just said that had I not seen what they say about us here.
The point is, Skateboarding is an awesome life long adventure with so many rewards along the way, no matter what rate you progress at.
Roll Forever!
Skateboarding:
Skater 1: "Hey man, oi I just kickflipped the britomart 8 yesterday!"
Skater 2: "Sick! You wanna head up there and film it? I might try it too."
BMXing:
Biker 1: "Hey dude, I just found a lump of dirt yesterday!"
Biker 2: "Rad! You wanna head up there and film it? I might try it too."

Skating is an extreme sport a lifestyle , free expression or an art form and a lot of people don't understand that . As a skater I get lots of criticism, not only from Police but even my teachers. Because with most people the first thing that comes to mind about us skaters is that were low-life scums. Well I know I'm not and that my "Skate Crew" isn't but some are and those guys are the people that give us a bad name
Most people think of skaters as "Rejects". Skateboarding also makes people feel happy and it's also something you can do by yourself but with people.
