If skateboarding wasn't so painful, it would be an attractive hobby.
Meanwhile I'm still learning how to ollie without breaking everything below my pelvis
Do these sort of people frequently injure themselves practicing this sort of thing or are they really just that good with balance? I remember skateboarding as a teen and whenever I tried to grind or do any more of the "advanced" tricks... it did not end well. The tricks this guy performs on the other hand..

It could take him 3 hours to film a certain trick or even 15 minutes.
Him going up the stairs on just the deck then twisting and coming back down to the waiting board was unreal. And now I want another Skate game.
If I ever touched a skateboard it would end up looking like those Skate 3 bug compilations At least to get around I have a bicycle :c
I used to be able to do ollies and kick flips but I was too afraid to land them because I thought the board would slide out from under me and I'd break my arm from stopping my fall.
