People skate for different reasons, but most people ride for one reason: Skateboarding is Fucking Magical! It’s not just a sport, but a whole culture. It’s inspired everything from music and movies, to video games and fashion. So, with that being said, here are some more reasons to get a shred stick.

1. It’s fun…duh

Even just cruising down the street doing flatland tricks excites my nether region……just kidding

2. Girls like it.

Do a 360 flip in front of most chicks and watch their panties drop.

3. Dirtbikes are gay

Sure they’re fun for an hour or two….just don’t buy Dickies and turn into a “Bro”.

4. Being a Rockstar is overrated

Everyone and their mother plays guitar now thanks to Rock Band.

5. Video games get boring

Unless you smoke a ton of pot. Then you probably don’t skate much anyway.

6. It gets your fat ass outside

If you’re already skinny, then good for you motherfucker!

7. Make crazy awesome friends

Way better than hanging out with the guy next door who watches UFC and listens to Linkin Park. To me skaters just tap into this “coolness” that not many other people do.

8. Exploring and interacting with the city

Skaters see all the crazy places in a city, like behind stores, alleys, abandoned buildings, etc…..Every time I go skate it’s still an adventure.

9. The way it feels to land a big trick

You never forget. People who don’t skate will never understand.

10. You get exposed to awesome music and art

Through skate videos and magazines, you’ll see and hear some of the most creative artists out there. I’ve found so many bands from watching videos.
