I really love skateboarding, In case you werent familiar Skateboarding is a sport which involves riding upon and performing tricks using a board with wheels attached to it.
I'm from California, my friends and I grew up skateboarding.  I don't know how many boards I went through as a kid.
Thats awesome, My favorite skateboarding idol is Tony Hawk, Hes pretty much considered to be one of the most successful pioneers of modern skateboarding.
I don't think anyone who skated doesn't like him.  I used to play his Pro Skater game on my Play Station whenever the weather was too bad outside.
I really loved those games, My fave was Pro Skater 2 and I believe it was developed by Neversoft and then published by Activision in 2000 back when I was just 10 years old.
