A skater is a human being who enjoys riding a skateboard because it is fun. a lot of skaters could be classified as 'punks' but this is just a stereotype. true, some skaters so wear tight jeans and a pair of emericas, but a lot of them just dress 'normally'.
there are vert skaters and street skaters. vert skaters skate in halfpipes. street skaters skate stairs and ledges and such. street is currently more popular than vert, mainly because it is easier to do. not to say that it requires less skill; I mean that street requires no ramp, therefore it can be done in more places that vert.
skateboarders are often said to be druggies, but this is simply not true... True skateboarders have no use for drugs. It's all about landing those tricks! landing a trick is the ultimate high.
I could say a lot more but i don't have a lot of time to write so I'll end it hear.
skateboarding is not a fad, it's a way of life.

while i may not skateboard every day, i do it for the right reasons... not to get girls or to cash in on the rise in popularity that skateboarding has suddenly taken.

Get the skater mug.Is a misunderstood artform/sport that is often critisized by the mainstream who do not grasp the concept. This is mainly due to the fact that there are no uniforms, rules, times etc. to clearly define the activity. Most people do not even understand how skaters 'ollie' their decks, and true to human nature they criticise what they cannot comprehend.
It is without a doubt far more skillful, creative and extreme than any team sport i can think of - and can only be compared to a select few of other sports/artforms such as surfing, snowboarding, even BMX.
Anyone can perform the most basic requirement of football - ie. kicking a stupid ball (or catching one).
Yet only a small minority of people will ever manage to perform the most basic requirement of skateboarding. ie. the 'ollie'. (Tip: its all about physics)
Due to the sports misconception, the real riders are mostly those who feel ill-at-ease with our conservative society, and feel the need to express themselves accordingly. This can admittedly result in the use of public property that is different to its intended purpose..
However, the greedy corporate fat cats have realised that there is potential cash in bottling this so-called teen-angst. As a result we have a whole pop-culture full of posers, companies, music groups and even shredders whose prime interest is gaining publicity, money and mainstream approval.
The soul riders are those individuals you will see milling around street corners, in dark crevices of the cityscape, wary of beefed-up security, all battle-scarred and torn, yet somewhat proud of our victimised counter-culture..
...Skateboarding is NOT: Tony Hawk games; World Industry clothing; Avril Laviegne; drug-using space-cadets.
...Skateboarding is: the underground; the artform; the family; the expression; the knocks and falls; the persistence; the reward...

I was skateboarding down the street before a cop pulled over and said "you cant ride on the street". So i skated down the path and i copped scowling stares from every direction - so i went down to the industrial estate and was confronted by a steroid wank of a security guard.
so i said 'fuck it' i'l just skate in your faces - just try and catch me..

Get the figure skater mug.A skatepark slut is a stupid female who feels the need to hang around the skatepark a minimum of 3 times a week, to do absolutely nothing but sit there, usually in their element or volcom wear that they got from Pac Sun, and look cute just in case one of the skaters happens to take a break and look their way. (Even tho that is absolutely ridiculous because guys are their to skate, not to pick up girls). Usually once a week, a skatepark slut will ask to borrow some guys board and attempt to skate down a ramp, and 100% of the time she will fall on her ass and giggle like the stupid slut she is...winning her no points what-so-ever with any guy. (unless he wants some action)
skatepark slut: oh hey jonny can i see your board for a second? (annoying giggle)
johnny: uh ya sure
skatepark slut:(still giggling annoyingly as she climps up the ramp) omg do you think i should try this, omg im going to...wait! omg im scared *more giggling*okay here i go!!!
*falls on her ass, with more trying to be cute laughs*
