lol..just wondering why you had to throw the skateboards under the bus…
I think that's the intention of skateboards - To 'thrash' and do tricks with. Kind of the opposite of what a car is meant for, when you think about it.…Oh, this coming from a past skateboarder ;-)

Well, I appreciate that skateboard tricks are difficult, but that does not make them...
... entertaining. It's literally amazing that you can get a skateboard off the ground and balance it while sliding on a fixed object.
I don't know how to explain it. You're not even using the wheels, so it's just a board being propelled onto a pipe/rail and scraping down the pipe for some short period of time. Awkward, ungraceful, noisy, and everything happens in about 1/2 second, and usually the stunt fails.
It's like playing tennis with a salami instead of a racket. You have to be incredibly good to get the ball back over the net. Lots of practice and extraordinary skill. But why? and who wants to see it?
The stuff in half-pipes is cooler. Same problem with drifting. Maybe it's hard to do, but why bother?

lol...okay. i can see what you are saying...but just remember they aren't there to entertain you...
it's to entertain themselves ;-) And of course to show off to their friends who are also into the same thing they are. It just seems you have a (overly) thought out hatred towards skateboarding that goes deeper than the average Joe...that's all ;-).

Yeah, it ranked right up there with my thought process involving buying a BMW.
Biggest piece of **** overpriced car I've ever owned. I guess I'm just not cut out to be an a$$hole like you are.
