How do you guys feel about skateboarding?

[ clearly the most earth-shattering question of our times. ]

Never tried it, but I heard it was actually kinda fun. But Kanon Town is built on a hill so there's a lot of stairs.

[seasaltzombie]

It is pretty fun. You don't have any slopes or railings you could use? The place I'm from was built on some hills, too.

[wildmelody]

There's a lot of those, but depending on where we are on the hill it can be really steep or what not.

[seasaltzombie]

So probably not the best place to start learning then, huh... man, that's a shame.

[wildmelody]

Yeah probably not. It'd be nice, but I don't think I have the time to try it.

[plainflush]

I think it's pretty cool, but I've never tried.

[seasaltzombie]

Oh, really? If you ever wanna, you should ask me sometime. I mean, I'm not much of a teacher, but it's more fun with someone else anyway.

[plainflush]

That would be really neat. But, um, kind of hard if we're in different worlds. Unless you can travel here, since you're able to visit other places.

[seasaltzombie]

Not a problem. I could world-hop over whenever you've got enough free time.

[shiningwaters]

It's all right, I guess. But what brought this up?

[seasaltzombie]

Nothing, really. It's just one of the few things I'm really into, I guess, and it gets kinda boring just practicing on your own after a while.

[shiningwaters]

So you're looking for someone to practice with you?

[seasaltzombie]

If they want to, sure. Even just seeing if I'm not the only one who likes doing it'd work for me.

Depends. What is it?

[seasaltzombie]

Oh, you don't know? Well, let's see... it's kind of like a board with wheels attached to the bottom, and you skate around on it and do tricks.

Re: Video

[nofarplaneyet]

Like what kind of tricks?

Re: Video

[seasaltzombie]

Like grinding on rails, heelflips - uh, that's when you sorta jump off the board for a second and flip it over with your foot at the same time - you know, stuff like that. It takes a while to get some of the more complicated stuff right.

[lifeisbrief]

What is that?

[seasaltzombie]

It's a kind of sport. You have a board with some wheels attached to the bottom, and you stand on top of it and use it to get around. You can do tricks with it, too, which is where the sport part comes in.

[handwritten]

[lifeisbrief]

Oh- like roller skating?

[seasaltzombie]

A little, only you're balancing on top of something instead of having the wheels attached to your shoes. It's probably pretty similar, though.

[The best thing.]

[seasaltzombie]

[ oh hey, Ferb! this deserves a video connection, which he gets in about a minute or so. ]

Ferb! It's good fun, right? Do you have a favourite trick?

Re: [Video]

[4daladies]

[Videos are the best!

He nods though because well yes, yes he does have a favorite trick.

The 720 flip of course.]

[ he grins. ]

Nice choice. I still have trouble pulling that one off half the time, but then again, I was out of practice for a while.
