Probably one of the dumbest sports made. A piece of wood being thrown around a foot off the ground isn't much of a "sport" to me. Cheerleading is more of a sport than this pathetic excuse of a sport. And will someone please tell me the logic behind the name. What part of skateboarding involves "skate" or "skating".? I mean i get the boarding part cause there on a board but in no way does this sport closely resemble skating. I'm from Canada and I'm pretty sure I know what skating looks like and thats the farthest thing from it. They should change the name to woodpusher, it would make a lot more sense.
"I want to try a sport where it requires littleintelligence and any pansy can do, so i started skateboarding"
term used by skateboarding community to refer to a kid who has a black eye or the skate board hit there eye this term comes from the show bill nye the science guy a popular science program on tv this term arose and started in southern california from here it was mentioned in a popular video on the internet called "beard no beard"
