I've been seeing more and more people using skateboards to get from place to place. I've seen people using them to get around a campus or just cruising around.

Me myself am one of those people that use a skateboard. I use a 39.5" x 9.375" Padang Longboard by Sector 9.

Does anyone else here use a skateboard or a longboard, if so what type of board do you use?

so I'm guessing no one here skateboards, or even cares about the sport.

Impatient Supreme!

I can't skateboard. It can be said, for many of the people around here...

There's only one reason people ride skateboards. To be watched.

Of course, that's not all completely true.

I don't skateboard in fear of falling of and sustaining injury.

I skateboard every once in a while, I have an old dirty board I got at a garage sale, but I kinda want a longboard. those things are cool.

BP: I think I lot of people stake just for fun.

I usually stake to kill vampires and keep tents fastened to the ground.

I skate because, you know, you will die if you don't.

I skate. very well. I do the best skate. out of anyone I know. My favorite equipment to use is two analog sticks and an occasional trigger.

I skateboard sometimes, though I'm not good at it.

I don't have the body build or nerve for skateboard. Give me the good 'ol bicycle.

I'm a bike person meself. An acquaintance of mine is obsessed with skateboarding but he's a huge poser who only buys overpriced skating paraphernalia and always shows it off and talks to people about it but never actually skates and I don't want to show any interest because I don't want to give him the satisfaction.

This thread has inspired me to convince my friends that we must beat Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 for Nintendo 64 with every character. This is not a difficult challenge, but the difficulty lies in that we must collect all the tapes in, at most, 2 runs.

Each Monday night for the rest of summer, we are going to beat the game on a new character.

How exciting.

2 runs total? There are more than two courses, you know.

... In seriousness, I once got all the tapes in the warehouse at once, I know for sure.
