    Icon3 Skateboarding: who here likes or pratices it...

    I'm adicted to skateboarding since about 2 years, but only been skateboarding more about some months, almost one year...

    I love it, all the things in it: friendship it makes, listening to complaints, being more time on the streets, practicing, getting hurt, talking about it, reading magazines about it, filming it, taking photos of it...

    It's a sport that to many people it's rubbish: that's why they aren't in "our" position... They don't know the adrenaline it makes and having like your "local group" and sometimes a "local hero", going around the city to find a new spot, building a career, sending videos to sponsors, going to contests (which isn't that good though, lol), spending a day on this simple piece of board which metal attachements makes many people happy enough for a week.

    Next I'll post some links if you like to visit and learn more about skateboarding (these are the finest brands around):

    But you probably don't know him.

    Hey guys, I'm not sure if you've been exposed to this guy yet. He's an old school skater from 80's So Cal. His name is Rodney Mullen and is known as somewhat of a legend over here...enjoy

    I used to skateboard quite a lot. Then I tore the ligaments of both ankles, twice on the left and once on the right, and I decided that I want to be able to walk when I'm 25.
    The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.

    I used to skate when I was in fourth and fifth grade. I stopped because my friend who I skated with moved. I had no one to skate with and no place to skate, so I quit. A year later, they built a skate park in a town not five minutes from me, lol.

    Balikedes, Rodney Mullen is considered the best freestyle skater and invented almost every skateboard trick you can imagine, since the kickflip to the casper!
    He's awesome...

    Every Saturday I try to go skateboarding, I usually go alone cuz in my local spot, Telheiras, I know many people. It's so wicked to skate there, trust me.

    Hey, glad you know about him...I was never a skater myself but videod my friends doing it. They were pretty good...we spent hours looking for good spots only to get run off by the cops.
    Inevitably when I grew up they built a skate park 15 min. from my house, just like Adnan. LOL

    Man, talking about other sports,... I love snowboard (actually I never did it, but some say it's similar to skateboarding and I watched some vids about snowboard).

    I have currently a Plan B board... but my favs are ZERO!!! They're the best eva!
