One of my favorite recreational activities is skateboarding! Have you ever tried?
I have tried to skateboard, but never really have gotten the hang of it.
It definitely takes some practice! Since the 70s, skateboarders have been honing their skills in skateparks across the US!
Can you do tricks on your skateboard?
I can do a few! I'm always trying to learn new ones. Skateboarding is actually going to be added to the Olympics in 2020! I can't wait to see the kind of tricks the Olympians perform!
Oh, wow! That will be fun to watch! Do you wear a helmet? Skateboarding seems like it could be dangerous.
Definitely! I wear a helmet and pads to try to protect myself. I think today's skateboards are safer than the wooden crates they used to use! They would attach roller skate wheels to the bottom. That would be tough to ride!
Do you go to a skateboard park or just skateboard wherever? I like watching people at the skateboard parks.
