lol, you in an argument with someone?
i don't really think skateboarding would fit as 'overrated'. i mean, it completely suits it's punk sub culture and inner city kids loving it. it's also pretty damn cool what a lot of people can do with a skateboard, and would take a lot of talent and practice. as a form of transportation, perhaps it's overrated lol.

How on earth is skateboarding overrated? It's a hobby. If anything, I'd say it's underrated, as are most physical activities, which could get kids outside and active instead of inside on their asses asking stupid questions on the internet.

Dude, skating is ridiculously hard. Where I came from, right around the time all the kids on my block were 12 (2002), the extreme sports fad blew the  up. Everyone was skating and putting pegs on their bikes. I was one of the kids skating. I was also one of the kids who was lucky if I could pull off a decent ollie after trying for that entire summer. It's really hard, man. Skating takes a tremendous amount of skill, and if nothing else, you should respect that aspect of it. Just as a mechanic is a genius with a car or a dentist is a genius with teeth, skateboarders are masters of that trade. Don't hate. |

Because skateboarders are not athletes, they are punks with too much free time on their hands. I could turn 630 degrees in the air with a skateboard if all I did was skate in the streets for 8 hours a day.

The words Overrated and Underrated have such an undefined criteria that it's impossible to logically debate it. |

Its not skateboarding that I hate, its those fools that act like they just invented the stuff in the past 5-10 years. News flash, 25 years ago I was going up and down my street on a skateboard, one that was given to me by my sister who's 10 years older then me...Its nothing new.

Because wrestlers are not athletes, they are juiced up actors with too much free time on their hands. I could take bumps while wearing tights and makes tons of money for it if all I did was train in some warehouse for 8 hours a day. See how easy that was? I bet you hate it when people undermine the sh*t that you like, so why do you gotta go undermining the things that others like? |

Yeah its not over or under rated, its just a thing people do...
I personally don't do it, never got the hang of it so props to the people who do.
It all depends on who you are, what you can do and who you hang around with tbh.

It's fun and just because a lot of people that skate can be jerks does not mean it is something for punks with too much free time. I skated growing up and still do from time to time and have had a job of some kind pretty much consistently since I was 14(25 now). I work with kids and am becoming a teacher whilst being a writer on the side. So, I'm the farthest from a punk with too much time on my hands as you can get. For those interested in skating, here's a video of me and my progression: |

I'm not sure how to put it for a fool who supports Ron Paul.... says the guy who asked an asinine question like if anyone has points on why skateboarding is overrated. do you think skating is overrated? and if so, could you provide your own personal definition of the word overrated as well? Just don't want us stupid people to fall behind. |

What the kind of thread is this? What do you even mean by, "overrated?" Like everyone else on the internet he means "Popular but I don't like it" but uses overrated because that makes it seem like skateboarding is bad/useless/etc. |
