Ireally into skateboarding when I was young. I used to love the action sport and performing tricks on my skateboard.
I tried skateboarding once.  I broke my arm.
Oh no. I can be pretty harsh when you fall. Some people are skateboarding for transportation, a job, or just recreational. Its a hard sport to master. 
Thats cool that it serves multiple purposes.  After that, I just stuck to skateboarding video games
Some are so much fun. I wish we would get EA Skate 4. They announced in 2014 that skateboarding will be present in the Olympics.
