skateboarding

[nite]

i have been skateboarding for almost 2 years now and am wondering..do people consider that a sport?

i mean i tell people that and they reply "well do you play any sports like football or basketball?"

ill just reply, "i dont like to play with balls."

[supersteve]

I consider skateboarding a sport because there is competition. Balance, skills, and other important stuff in skate bording. I don't like skateboarding though.

Any activity in which you are competing with others and that requires physical strain, coordination, and muscle memory is a sport. So yes, skateboarding is a sport. However, if you do not take your skateboarding to a competitive level then you cannot say that you skateboard as a sport, only as a hobby.

I my knee is fucked too.

It dislocates occasionally.
over time i have became irritated with the hospital visits and i now put it back into place myself.
It has benefited me though, i now have a extraordinary tolerance to pain.

pain sucks i take 25mgs of loritabs a day just to be able to keep up with my kids and the reason my legs hurt is because i did it for my ex wife danm whore

What has ur ex wife got to do with it?

[charlesfore]

i went to the army so i would have a job so when i got back and married her i would be stable money wise

[CTV]

[charlesfore]

when i was in i started getting stressfractures from doing all the marches and physical shit well one day we had to do the obstical course and i had to go down the ropelling tower well when i landed my legs shaderd like a pane of glass and that was it for me and the army i wish i was still in and not in this god forsaken piss spot for a town

I think all the X-games are the hardest. Not only do they require strength like all other sports but a LOT of skill. LIke take basketball (which I can't stand), you throw a big ball though a hoop that easily swallows it. Woooo...

Now, take BMX, moto-X, snowboarding, skiing, skatebaording... these all take WAY more concentration to accomplish than running 20 feet bouncing a ball and throwing it through a hoop a mere 10 feet in the air. But thats just me.

So, I think that skateboarding is more of sport than the "ball sports".

i can do an ollie but a crappy one at that
