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

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... :(
