Most Of My Friends Are Skaters Or

I Love Snowboarding, But I Would Never Want To Do It Competitively Or At A Professional Level. Snowboarding Is A Spawn Of Skating, And Skating Is My Passion.

If You Look At The Success Of Snowboarding In The Winter Games And How That's Brought A More Youthful Edge To The Olympics In General, They Don't Have That With The Summer Games. They Don't Have Anything That's Drawing In A Younger Viewership. To Be Honest, I Think They Need Skateboarding More Than We Need Them. Skateboarding's Popularity Is Solidified For The Most Part In A Lot Of Countries.

I Started Skateboarding At Around Age 10, And Enjoyed The Artistic Aspect Of It As Much As The Sporting Aspect, So For Me It Was More Of An Art Form And A Lifestyle.

I Think That The Board Is A Lot More Intuitive Than People Assume. You Get On It And All You Have To Do Is Put One Foot On The Tail And One Foot On The Nose And Rock It Up And Down And That Will Get You Into The Tricks Or Wheelies Or Manuals. It's Not About The Balance So Much As It Is About The Timing.

In Ramp Skating, Theres This Guy Alex Perelson Whos Really Coming Into His Own And Doing Some Amazing New Stuff We Havent Seen Before. Just Different Types Of Spin.
