why on earth do ppl skateboard?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
specially caucasians... i see most white people that skateboard... are white ppl less scared of pain? I am an asian, i prefer snowboarding way more than skateboarding... ive sprained my ankle skateboarding before and broke a bone on my wrist... ive seen scarred stories on MTV where terrible things happen way worse than me, like brain damage and multiple broken bones... i live in Korea now, and i rarely see people here skateboarding... i think asians are more scared of pain? i dont know sometimes i think white people are jus crazy... I would like to continue skateboarding but im scared to break something again, and something really bad might happen? i dont understand you crazy ppl who skateboard! i think who ever invented the skateboard needs to be shot! but i would definately like to skateboard if it never gave us scars...

This sounds kinda weird but here we go. Snowboarding is not cheap skateboarding is. Skateboarding is also more of a culture. When you go snowboard you're all padded up in skiwear and when you fall of you land on snow which is relatively soft compared to concrete or wood etc. Maybe you just need to be more confident skateboarding and try walking before you run. IE don't get cocky or over confident

well, yeah, there is that daredevil adrenaline rush you get from doing risky stuff. but you gotta admit even doing something less risky like just rolling down the street is funner than walking, right? and you know skating doesnt have to involve the risky and injurious behavior. to me, even doing simple tricks on flat is fun. you dont need to kickflip a 10-stair to have fun

People skateboard because they like it and it probably gives them an adrenalin rush. People skateboarding doesn't affect you in anyway so just don't worry about it.

ive got one korean american friend and one friend fresh off the boat from korea and we skate together basically everyday, and we do it because its fun and the world is our skatepark

For the hell of it I guess. Why do people do anything? You can get hurt walking you know...
