Can you Skateboard?
 
I can, and I'm fairly good at it also, I can do FS boardslides, Kickflips, Varial Kickflips, FS 180's, Half cab's, and some other stuff.

Can you skate? and if so what can you do?

Detox October 23rd, 2008 2:02 PM

Um...i really cant rde a skateboard,but i can freestyle bike ride like a pro...

Michii October 23rd, 2008 2:05 PM

Polls, anyone? :3

I can skate, but not well. I'm good enough to not fall and make a fool out of myself and/or kill myself, but I can't jump well or do many tricks. I can do a wheely and a 270, though! :'DDD;

Percy Thrillington October 23rd, 2008 2:11 PM

I'm about as good at skateboarding as Michii. Except for the fact that I can't do tricks at all.

Haha, Most people don't skate because they fall or something stupid, then they're scared.

And because retards that vandalize and stuff give skaters like me a bad name...

Xenart October 23rd, 2008 2:14 PM

I just started learning, so no.

It's hard at the beginning (I got my ollie down after 2 years XD) but once you learn the basics, It get's easier

Aurafire October 23rd, 2008 2:22 PM

Yes I can =P

I used to skate a lot in middle school...I wasn't bad. Then I stopped for some reason =/

the bitter end. October 23rd, 2008 2:22 PM

No, I can't for now, mainly because I've never been on one...

You should try it, it's SO fun, and addicting
But if you get a board, don't get a walmart board, they suck

Legobricks October 23rd, 2008 2:31 PM

No, but I redeem myself by skiing backwards.

.Iramet October 23rd, 2008 3:18 PM

Can't say that I can, but I'm sick at skating(Roller Blades)
I'm like one of the few kids that still do.
^.^

Aegis October 23rd, 2008 3:48 PM

Not at all XD; I tried once when I was in like... the 1st grade, and fell off right away. I fail at skateboarding so hard it isn't funny 8(

Agreed. I'm a great roller skater.

I joined into the skating fad, then quickly got out of it. Barely learned to ollie.

Yu_&_Rei October 23rd, 2008 3:55 PM

I can't skateboard, I've tried and I kept on wobbling after a while it would be good but I'd somehow not be able to control it.

Metatron October 23rd, 2008 4:03 PM

I used to skate. Pretty well, actually.

But honestly, I haven't stepped foot on a skateboard since I was about 14 years old (...right around the time I first joined this site, actually ._.). I could do a few small insignificant "tricks," but nothing actually worth bragging over here.

I was using a World Industries board way back then. Wait, do they even still make boards anymore? ._.

Careful With That Axe, Pichu! October 23rd, 2008 4:06 PM

I used to. Until I %$%$"# my arm up.

Now it's only a hobbie.

Caelus October 23rd, 2008 4:16 PM

I tried skateboarding but everytime I do, I lose my balance and quit.

I'm actually glad I don't skateboard.

♣Gawain♣ October 23rd, 2008 7:19 PM

I wish I could... but no.

I only tried once, and at that time, I broke my skull in half. O.O

Conman October 23rd, 2008 7:29 PM

Of course I don't skate and I will never do it. My cousin is always trying to get me to, but I shall always and forever refuse! Enough for me to slip and bust my bottom >_>

Not really. I tried it a few times but never really got into it. One of my first times was when I got a Legend of Zelda: Oot skateboard/scooter (which was awesome). Another time was when my sister's boyfriend was skating more often than he usually did and he would do tricks and skate on our block (a dead end). I saw him having fun and I saw the guys on tv soar on those boards off those ramps and into the air and it made me want to try it.

Alas I never got into it, although it looked fun. Maybe I'll pick it up again.

Volkner's Apprentice October 23rd, 2008 10:15 PM

I can't board, but I used to blade a lot. Then I outgrew my blades and never bought new ones >.< I really want to go get some and re-teach myself..

Hiidoran October 24th, 2008 12:05 AM

Oh, I remember trying to teach myself how to skateboard when I was about twelve. It... didn't quite go so well and I eventually gave up.

I do believe I can get myself moving and simply go in a straight line or make very broad turns, however, I don't believe I could do any tricks or go faster than two miles an hour. -.-

Master Jecht October 24th, 2008 3:37 AM

i got a skateboard when I was 11 or 12 for Christmas. It was around when tony hawk pro skater game came out. That was my inspiration. I could ride around on it but i never could do any tricks so it got boring.

Red Ink October 24th, 2008 5:52 AM

I can skateboard pretty good, I hurt myself a lot doing it though. I can't do a lot of tricks, but I love riding it for no real reason. ^^

Rogue planet October 24th, 2008 8:45 AM

No never touched one, I can run well, why skate? When running there is less chance of getting hurt and its slightly cheaper/free.

Shadowfaith October 24th, 2008 8:48 AM

Yes I can =D I can't do all the nifty tricks...I can do some minor ones but I can defo skateboard ^_^ Took me a while when I was younger to learn and I haven't done it in a little, but I can skateboard.

Eternal Nightmare October 24th, 2008 10:16 AM

I have never ever rode a skateboard, let alone touched one. I think I cant skateboard anyway.

txteclipse October 24th, 2008 10:21 AM

I can stay on one at modest speeds and turn somewhat, but I'm probably not good enough to use it as a form of transportation. Besides, drifting in a car is way more fun. ;)

suicidesal October 24th, 2008 10:34 AM

I can skateboard, but I'm absolutely terrible at it

Shadow Forte.EXE October 24th, 2008 10:35 AM

I only skate at a friends and at the park. I can ride it really good but I still can't do any tricks yet.

Still kinda practicing other kinds of tricks right now.

Melodyfree October 24th, 2008 11:09 AM

Not without breaking something I can't.
I don't have very good balance. I can ride a bicycle and that's it. xD;;

Lynnx October 24th, 2008 11:37 AM

I've never touched a skateboard. ._.;;; Even if I tried, I probably wouldn't be able to skateboard because I have awful balance.

Saryka October 24th, 2008 1:20 PM

LOL. I tried once, when I was eight. I was all bundled up in kneepads and wrist guards and elbow pads because I was so scared of hurting myself. XD;

Needless to say, it did not go over too well. I haven't touched a skateboard since and I don't think I ever will. I'm far too paranoid. XD

/Circa October 24th, 2008 3:36 PM

I started skating when I was five, all I could do was ollie, then my dad smashed my skateboard cause I spent too much time outside o.O

Then I started again in grade 5, and just stopped after a few weeks.

Started again a few weeks ago, I can still do ollies, manual for at most 5 seconds, and do some freestyle stationary. Not perfect but it's fun I gotta admit ;D, even when I stuff up.

sirboulevard October 24th, 2008 5:54 PM

I've tried, but i am not coordinated enought to do it. 4 years of trying to learn out the window... -sigh-

Tyrantrum October 24th, 2008 6:00 PM

Nope~

Can't skate for crap! -.-
I can ride it, but I can't even do an olly(sp?). x_x;
I could almost do it riding these Wal-Mart boards at Wal-Mart with my friend! xD

But, nope, can't do any tricks for crap. :/

Cookie luvs Green October 24th, 2008 6:00 PM

Oh god I wish I could learn how to skateboard. But the timing at the moment is so inconvenient and in a snap, I'm afraid I'll be too old or something, I dunno. I wanna try someday though.

TB Pro October 24th, 2008 6:03 PM

Yep. I can't do anything fancy, or anything, but I can do the standard ollie. I can manual for around 15 seconds. ALMOST kickflip. Although, I'm not REALLY big into tricks, and such. I get most of my thrills just skating down large hills, going as fast as possible. As my friends dad is a cop, we have a radar gun, to check our speeds. My top speed is, believe it or not, 36.something mph. Yeah, I know WTF. Luckily I didn't crash and burn, or else I'd be jacked-up. That actually happened about a week ago. I currently skate on an old Darkstar, although I plan to get a new Element soon.

Virtual Chatot October 24th, 2008 6:22 PM

I'm not a skateboarder, I'm more of an ice skater myself. XD

Gerri Shin October 24th, 2008 6:26 PM

hmm, skateboarding.... Nope can't do it, now if you meant strapping a single piece of laminated polycarbonate to both feet and sliding down a long snowy mountain... Now that I could do pretty well!

Sushi. October 24th, 2008 7:00 PM

I tryed it once in my life and I couldn't even balance on it, so I just forget about it after that time. :/

Eon-Rider October 24th, 2008 7:46 PM

I tried once when I was really yound and I managed a bit but then I quit. Since then, I haven't bothered.

BeachBoy October 24th, 2008 9:16 PM

Somewhat yeah, not very good at it though. I can only skateboard on water (surf) but on land I'm pretty clumsy. XD

PrimalMario October 27th, 2008 4:40 PM

Yeah i have tried it and suprisingly for a big guy im ok at it lol.

Candy Christina October 27th, 2008 5:42 PM

Nope, I can't skate a lick. I've tried before but...I don't want to relive those terrible memories... :(
