As a kid, I loved rollerblading, bike riding, and I even learned how to ice skate a little bit, but for some reason, I was always a little nervous to try to ride a skateboard. So, I never really learned how to ride one. 😔
I got a skateboard when I was a kid. The first ones had narrow metal wheels.
In my early teens, I got one like this
That's what there was. There were no skateboard parks, either.
But we used to skateboard in empty swimming pools, on hills (sidewalks and streets), and on the concrete banks of the San Gabriel River. I got pulled while holding onto moving cars and sometimes tied ropes to cars and sort of water skied behind them.
I could spin, do cuts and reverses. But flexible boards and tricks like jumps, flips and slides hadn't been invented.
I bought a pair of Hobie skates that were kind of like these in the late '70s
I skated for miles and miles in those just for fun.
I was a surfer and snow skied. I went ice skating a few times. But I never had a pair of roller blades.
My mother got me a skateboard when I was 11. I was so excited that I started riding it in the hallways of the building. But I lost my balance and I fell flat on my stomach shitting myself in the process. My mother couldn't stop laughing especially after I told that I had an accident on myself. Ever since then I'm never touched a skateboard ever.
Yess as a kid I was only ever intersted in riding the skateboard and roller skates. Sometimes the scooter. Never learned how to ride a bike tho. Got hurt all the time riding the skateboard so eventually stopped when I was a teen.
My 2 older brothers taught very well to make sure I can hang with other boys and not get picked on.
I believe I was a better skateboarder than many of the guys in the neighborhood I grew up in.

I always wanted a skateboard when I was 11 and finally got one for my birthday but I didn’t have the flexibility or balance to ride one and bailed many times getting bruised and scratched I kinda stop but my brother kinda inherited and was good at it.
When Tony hawks pro skater was out all we did was skateboard that's why even Snoop Dogg dropped his song drop it like it's it's cause even all. the gangsters were skating haha it took me forever to perfect an Ollie hahaa I know how to do it now qnd a kick flip and a double kick flip but that's all lol
I chose "I know how to ride a skateboard", only because I used to ride all the time when I was about 11-12. But I literally haven't been on a skateboard in 30 years now. lol I'm sure I could ride and ollie again without much effort. I have the feeling it's sort of like riding a bike. Once you learn, you never forget. Not saying it would look great though. 😂
i was actually a super good skateboarder til later in my teen years. i could do tricks off of big staircases and ride half pipes. i lost most of my skills when i started lifting weights and playing football though, skateboarding really is a little guy’s sport lol i’m still pretty good at snowboarding and wakeboarding i just rarely go cuz i don’t wanna fuck up my knees.
I sucked at it but tried to keep it up to impress my childhood crush. Now i just collect the decks for artwork
u I did, once up on a time. I haven't ridden a skateboard in years, so I have no idea if I can still do it.
It’s been a long time but like riding a bicycle I’ll never forget however if you put me on a skateboard nowadays beware I sick at stopping.
Skateboard, rollerblading, snow skiing, water skiing (just basics). But I can’t roller skate or ice skate.🤔
Bella I was a bike riding kid. I never learned how to skateboard, roller blade or ice skate.
😊🙋♂️
Oh yes, until I rolled around 70 feet after my racing wheels hit a piece of gravel on the side walk, stopped the board instantly on a steep incline, that concrete rash isn't fun.. After that my skateboarding days were over.
I have tried it several time... it was fun but I do not own one.
I wish I can. It’s automatically a cool factor to me when someone can skate!
I have a son who sure knows how to ride one, but I don't know how or at least I've never tried.
I have a skateboard again now , I used to ride a little , I really need to learn again.
s I can ride a penny board and a longboard, but not a typical skate board.
I know how to crash on a skateboard! Well ok how to land after without multiple injuries anyway :P
When I was a kid used to ride all the time. Today I think I would be cautious.
Yep, I was thinking of putting together a new custom one the other day.
No, I don't know how to ice skate or ride a skateboard
Never learned it. I tried a couple of times, but I just couldn't find my balance on it.
