this thread will die in a day I guarantee it but I'm bored so I'm making it anyway
SKATEBOARDING- a sport full of starfishs
What is skateboarding?- Cool
- You own a board with 4 wheels and you beat the stuff out of yourself
- You can do neat tricks and get the pusillanimous individual properly drenched
- A good pass time which prevents you from thinking too hard
Skateboarding is a pretty standard hobby now. It's normally used for recreational activity
but it can also be considered an art, a job, or transportation (loving posers). the skateboarding
industry is worth something close to $4.8 billion dollars.
There are 3 types of skateboarding. (probably more but this is general)
Street Skating Park/Transition Skating Vert Skating
Street skating:You do cool flatground tricks and adapt to urban environments. Street skaters have thinner (7.5-8" wide) boards and
smaller wheels. Good way to get the pusillanimous individual properly drenched, also a good way to get yelled at by store owners and
police. Can be pretty painful when you try to 50-50 a guard rail and smash your nuts instead.
Park skating:You go to a skatepark. You try to drop in for the first time. You almost kill yourself and stop skating for a month.
But then you go back and you start shredding the banks and eventually you'll get carving and pumping down and
you'll find sweet bliss in going up and down banks. Transition skaters have wider boards (8"-8.25" personal preference)
and medium sized wheels and such. You'll see park skaters doing tricks out of banks and such so it's kinda the midpoint
between the two sides of the spectrum.
Vert skating:aka "my testicles are made out of iron"
Vert skating revolves around getting huge air and doing cool air tricks called grabs and stuff. usually happens in an
empty pool, bowls, and nitro circus. vert skaters have huge boards for more stability (8.3" all the way up to like 10"
or something they exist)
How do I fit in with other skateboarders?nobody knows. skater culture sucks. just don't hold your board like this:
unless you're trying to beat the stuff out of a mall cop or something.
