Skateboarding

What do we mean by skateboarding?

To use a skateboard.

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...

Life;an artform the best extreme sport Urban Dictionary

To me skateboarding is the most enjoyable sport ever created. Its one of the best things you can do and its really fun. Kids who skateboard just for the fun of it are the ones who really like it. But..... we now have little assholes skating just "to get sponsered" That dont realize that 1. They aint gonna get sponsered because you have to love the sport to get that good and 2. Even if they do get sponsered there isnt going to be all glory and big paychecks. And some skating kids say its a stereotype that all skaters are assholes. Not ALL of them but the younger kids, in general, are fuckin douche bags. How do you think the stereotype got there? stereotypes usually hold true. Also we have the kids skating because they think it makes them cool. When are these kids gonna see that skating doesnt make you a cool rebel? theres millions of kids skating! And the skateparks are full of nasty ass ho women that wanna have 40 babies. That was just as a little side note. Urban Dictionary

A way of life, how you live, what you breath, everything you cherish, all that you love, skating is everything, its how we live, its something we need, something you cant live without, essential as my heart and brain, skaters love to skate and not "pose as skaters", a real skater just strives to get better, already great at it or just starting, real skaters skat all day and do it because they want to and need to, real skaters help anyone that wants to learn................. SKATING IS A LIFE LONG JOURNEY THAT YOU WILL NEVER FINISH, YOU WILL ONLY GET BETTER, BUT AS U GET BETTER, THE FINISH LINE STAYS THE SAME DISTANCE AWAY, EVERYTIME YOU LAND A TRICK, YOU LEARN OF A NEW ONE U HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. THE JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES, BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP................... Urban Dictionary

A artform that portaits a person's attitude and there peronality. It requeres the full co-operation of a persons body and mind to be able to express yourself. In the end you must overcome your fears to push for your goals. Urban Dictionary

The best sport ever, and yes its a sport. freedom. sport with no boundaries, rules, or limits. do whatever you want, however you want, whenever you want. no stupid coach to yell at you, and no stupid uniform. i do it for the thrill, not for fame,money,or chicks. people who do it for those reasons are just posers. and its way better than bmx. fuck metal molesters. skaters are stereotyped as dilinquents, but were not. theyre also stereotyped as having piercings, and died hair, and listening to punk music, but thats not me. i dont even listen to punk. its stupid. and i hate posers. Urban Dictionary

Skating to me is a way to relax, and it definitely rox! You get yourself away from the stress and it kicks ass! It's really fun, and really awesome to try to do. Urban Dictionary
