Skateboarding

[Dennis]

My lifestyle is skateboarding. I'm always with my board and if i'm not outside skating for less than two hours a day, i'm in a terrible mood. I want to know if you guys consider skating a sport. Sure it's not a team sport, but neither is surfing. So can you call skating an official sport with confidence?

I'd call it a sport. I think most would? It's just an extreme sport. It gives you more of a beating than learning to play football, or rugby. Skateboarding gives you broken bones a hell of a lot more lol. I think it takes more skill to ride a board than it does to kick a ball. So yes, i would call it a sport.

Of course it is. Why would you even ask that?

 

[Dennis]

You would be surprised how many people i have talked to, that were ignorant enough to say skating wasn't a sport, it was merely a hobby.

 

[Evil Eye]

Sure. Just about everything's a sport anyway.

Skateboarding is a dynamic sport and I love watching skateboarding competitions. My favorite skateboarder is Tony Hawk.

I call skateboarding a sport for sure, and it's also my hobby. When I go skating it gets me in a good mood. I love it!
