I love skateboarding!  I have been doing it since I was a kid!  Do you enjoy it?
I have tried but I'm not good at it. Skateboarding can be considered a job, recreational activity and even an art form.
I agree!  I do it for recreation.  Who do you think is the most famous skatboarder?
John Rodney Mullen is considered a very influential skateboarder who has invented numerous tricks.
I am not familiar with that name.  When did he start skateboarding?
He was born in 1966 and won his first championship at 14, he then went on to win 35 out of 36 freestyle contests being the most successful in his sport.
That is a long time ago!  I didn't even know skateboarding existed back then!Is he still involved in the sport?
I'm not sure but there was also Lewis Kristian marnell who was Slam Magazine's 2008 "Skater of the Year".
I have never heard of that magazine.  Do pro skateboarders make a lot of money?
I guess it depends on how successful you are. SLAM magazine is actually an American basketball magazine that started in 1994.
