Skateboarding at a high level requires a lot of skill and training....but for the sake of arguement, it's still not a sport.

You know why? One word...defense.

There's nobody trying to stop you from scoring.

That being said: golf, swimming cycling etc. not a sport either.
not buying it. But for the sake of debating I'll give it a go. in street skateboarding there's shyt trying to stop you. shytty ass run up and landings with big cracks, rails that are janky. Especially in the Midwest and east coast spots. They are. More weathered and fukked up. Every spot is different unlike " traditional sports" everything is always the same. And there is defense. Gotta watch out for security and bums in Detroit. :smugfavre:

nobody actually watched skateboarding or the x-games but those ps1 and ps2 era tony hawk games were fire!:banderas:

do skateboarders get concussions alot? some of those falls he had were :damn:


Nah, after the video games came out, me & brothers started watching. I don't watch anymore, but I can always appreciate a dope kick flip or variable now & then :obama:

He got three mansions and skatepark in his main crib but people act like he humble cause he drive a Mini Cooper? Ok. :mjlol:
If you're a professional athlete I expect you to have a regulation sized court/field/ring etc. that's a good investment imo, even when you retire I expect that competition passion that got you rich to be there enough to still make use of it.

Three mansions depends on where you from. If you born and raised in palm beach you only need 1. If you from Minnesota , you should at least have two. One back home, one in some sort of paradise. If you're famous you also need a third near Hollywood.
