Do you skate?

[biscuit (smyl3r) 65]

So yeah, I love to ride my scooter... Sounds crazy! I know!

 

Is there any other skaters here? BMX maybe? I practically live at the skatepark.

 

I dont really take it too seriously. Ya know, just for fun.

 

Anyways, check out this video of my riding

Kudos for scootering. People who ride scooters at the skate park tend to be the most discriminated against, but you seem to have the right mind set so thats all that matters. I skateboard and inline skate, but I don't really go to skate parks, I don't much like the type of people that are usually known to skate and hang around at skate parks. Before I moved to college I would occasionally skate at indoor parks. One of the local shops near my house had a quarter/half pipe so I went there occasionally. Other than that I only skate now for transportation (although its wet cold currently so I don't right now). I may go to a park eventually, but my current friends are the brony-gamer kind not the brony-skater kind. Oh well.

Well, I know how to ice and roller skate!

 

I'm pretty good at riding a scooter, I know some cool tricks. But I can't ride a skateboard. So no; I don't skate, if that's the kind of skate you're talking about. But that's fine by me. I don't really want to be part of the skater life anyway. (No offense to anyone that is.) But I would love to learn how to skate someday.

Well, I used to skateboard, but now I don't... Old goodie times =D. Btw, nice skating with scooter lolz. I didn't knew people use to do tricks with scooter =D

I used to skateboard and scooter in my garage when I was little. Now I don't care too much for riding. You make scootering look easy though, maybe I should take that up instead of sitting around on a computer/PS3 all day. Of course I have to get inspiration to scooter in the middle of winter.

i rode bmx a bit in high school, now i just putter around on a bmx bike, not really doing tricks. im too old and fat to try barspins and shit these days. however, i have a minor hobby in bmx bike restoration, so the bug isnt out of my system completely. 

[Winterbass 763]

Well, I can inline skate and skateboard but I don't do it as much as I did, it wasn't really any serious stuff though, I just liked to go off of half-pipes n ramps, go really fast, grind and trying not to fall while doing ridiculous things, which ended up in me falling a lot ^^. I don't really care about what you use to skate with, as long as you enjoy what you're doing it's all fine and in good fun.

[Just A Guy 39]

I do skate.
With my old skateboard! Too bad, the places are limited here...
And some people actually, are against, so we don't have a space to skate, nor a skatepark, nor anything related...

Ah, the 'skater life'. What does that even mean? I feel like skaters are put in a bad light like that. Ya know, like skaters are druggies and dont give two hoofs about anything. Of course there are some skaters like that, but im not. Actually most skaters I know arnt like that at all! Skateparks are a really great place to make friends. Its basically a place where everypony is striving to do the same thing, no matter if they ride on a bike or a skateboard! Its really cool when you do something cool and it gets other people pumped... Then when they do something cool it gets you pumped right back! Its so cool!

All I've done and stuck with is roller skating. I've used a skate board before, and it just didn't seem like my thing. Though roller skating can get boring, but if you come up with some tricks it becomes pretty awesome.

[Champion RD92 8,658]

I used to skateboard, but I sucked horribly at it. I tried for so long to learn to how do tricks, but I just couldn't do it. I was really into the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, which is probably why I was so interested in learning how to skate.

Exactly my story. I used to play tony hawk on the playstation ALL the time when I was 4. So i borrowed my sisters skateboard and failed horribly for several years until I gave up and became a video game nerd.

I’m a roller skater, I just love the whole 1970s retro aspect of it with the whole Roller Disco thing, and want to jam skate ever since I saw this film starring American rapper Bow Wow called Roll Bounce. About this kids in the 1970s jam skating and dancing on skates to classic Funk and Disco music, which is music I’m really keen on.

 

Here's a pic of my skates

I'm right there with you! I was only able to rollerskate when my school held "Late Night Skate" events at the rink once per semester. For my public speaking class I did a whole presentation on rollerskating. Alas, I don't have a pair of skates, nor have I been to a rink in over a year, but I still love it! I too wish to learn the ways of jam skating!

I used to skateboard a lot. It made up the better chunk of any given day back when I was in high school. My brothers and I used to set up a boombox loaded with one of my punk mix CDs and just tear up this one spot near our house full of rails and short staircases.

 

I traded my skateboard in for a guitar a long, long time ago. I've been thinking about getting back into it though, for fitness reasons. I'm a chubby bastard now.

[Otter 1,942]

I longboard sometimes. Does that count? I used to skateboard, but I didn't do any tricks or anything. I just used the board for transportation. 

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

once upon a time i scootered like a boss. then i got too big for scooters. i then tried rollerblading since it was real big in the 90's where i am. i got bored of it so i decided to BMX. I am good at it but there are no places i can try my stuff at and building my own ramps isnt an option right now. I tried skateboarding i can stay on real good. i tried to ollie and also tried doing a manual. i failed so hard i still facepalm myself to this day. So the only thig i really do is BMX and Longboarding.

[Lunas Husband 2,777]

I did once... got really really really drunk, and got my friends Skate board. I think I got 10 feet ran right in to a parked car...next day I was in a great deal of pain... 

[Jackleberry 1,922]

When I was younger, I was all up in that skateboarding stuff ... dawg ... no but seriously, I used to 'skateboard' quite a bit back in the day ... okay I wouldn't really call it skateboarding ... more like, standing on my skateboard (which was usually stationary) and trying to do 'sick moves', usually failing miserably.

 

I tried to learn it though, but unfortunately I never got far, not even remotely. I did play a lot of skateboarding games though, if that counts.

 

I did have a scooter at one point as well, but I can't recall doing a whole lot with it other than using it as a mode of transportation.

[MeanBlackHawk 147]

I skateboard personally.  I have a new chocolate skateboard deck that I got as a Christmas present about 2 years ago.  However I need to purchase new trucks and bearings for it so I can use it.  Right now I have a limited edition Couch Tour Enjoi board which is like this but a lot more worn down... almost unrecognizable:

 

 

 

The only real difference however is that there is a panda on the "ship" and it (used to) says "Spreading our disease from port to port." 

[Acchan 232]

What is this "skate" of which you speak? 

[Life Giver 1,063]

No but I do or used to ride a bicycle....

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

Used to do a lot of stuff on a scooter but when it came to skateboards I didn't get the hang of it. Though I did do quite a few tricks on a scooter.

[Clover Heart 978]

I like roller blading. I haven't done it in a while because I can't find any adult-sized blades around here, for whatever reason. But I do enjoy it. I don't do any tricks or anything like that. I'm happy to just go from point A to point B on my blades. I enjoy the motion and the speed.

[Skylar 1,641]

If your talking about skate boarding then I used to do it alot as a teen though I was never any good at it Just kind of a phase thing where all my friends did it so I joined in to, so many bruises and scrapes but it was all in good fun
