A piece of wood with wheels and a simple turning system, that has the magical power to bring fun and pleasure to millions around the world. It also should be used for fun and not to look "cool".
guy one: "hey look at me I'm so cool, I'm carrying a skateboard, that must mean I am really adventurous and wild"
guy two: "you suck"
guy two: "you suck"

Get the Skateboardmug. The best damn sport around. No coaches, no team. A big thanks to ESPN, Slim Jim and every other corporation for ruining what we have.

Get the Skateboardmug. one who rides a skateboard and has fun doing it. skaters can be any kind of person; punk, prep, jock, criminal, nerd... whatever. skateboarding has room for all kinds of people, and most of us won't discriminate based on anything but your love for skateboarding.
however, since skateboarding has recently rocketed in popularity, it has now become 'cool'. so now, you have to deal with those who are only doing it to be 'cool'. these people are not really skateboarders.
if you are the other kind of skater (the for real one, and you know who you are) i have some words of wisdom for you. when you get kicked out of a skatespot, don't mouth off to the cops no matter how much of an idiot they really are. if skaters want to get accepted in todays world (which seems impossible right now) then we need to act like civilized people. if thats how we act, that's how we'll be treated, which means less getting kicked out of skate spots and more riding of the skateboard.

skateboarders are usually non-competative people, because competition in skateboarding is fairly low-key; its not really taken seriously. ESPN tried to make it into some dramatic rivalry between the top skaters when in fact they are all friends just goofing around. there's no hating.
