Skateboarding - The Pros & Cons

Skateboarding if done well can be an amazing thing. But it takes a lot of balance and can prove to be hard for some. So here I've stated the Positive and negative issues I feel about skateboarding.

POS

·         New mode of transport (to an extent)

·         Fun

·         Sense of Freedom

·         Cool Tricks

·         Good Exercise, builds muscle

·         Improves balance

·         Good way to hang out with friends

NEG

·         Very hard as a beginner

·         Takes time to improve balance

·         Can get hurt easily on it i.e. broken bones, ripped skin etc

·         Takes years to build up to doing tricks

·         Need really good balance to get going

·         No brakes if you’re going down a hill

How did it feel when you tried skateboarding?

I didn’t go skateboarding at UNIT 23 Skatepark, but I have tried skateboarding before. It was a bad experience for me personally because I wasn’t going very well on it to start off with and I managed to fall off and fracture my left Ulna (outer bone in your forearm – runs from your elbow to your little finger). But I do remember the feeling you get when you manage to balance on it long enough to move 20metres. It felt exhilarating and it made me feel really good to know I was doing well; I managed to steer the board a bit as well. I could feel that my balance was improving and by the time I was finished (before I fractured my arm) I felt the flush that comes from doing exercise. I don’t think it is a hobby I could get into though, because of the previously broken arm and all.
