Skateboarding is my life

Buchenkov Dima is writing...

"Skateboarding  is my sport. I take my skateboard and skate in the streets and parks, trying to make progress. I learn special tricks and take part in street competitions, involving exciting and thrilling moments and including a good dose of extreme. I go in for it for pleasure, it is just the best way to spend pastime and work off my extra energy. For sure skateboarding is not only sport for me, it is the whole culture. It includes a lot of life socializing, nice friends and great fun. It gives me the increased sense of individuality and helps to acquire self-confidence.But some people argue that this sport is not very useful. They say it takes a lot of energy and time. It is dangerous because there is always a possibility of injury. As a result of this sport people have broken legs and arms. It's risky, giving little safety. Besides, you need a skateboard which is rather expensive and requires some complicated equipment as well.
May be that is why there are a lot of problems, connected with skateboarding. Negative attitude of our society is one of them. Some people do not approve of the appearance of skaters. Some people protest against skaters riding round squares and near monuments. But what should we do if in some cities there are no special places for skateboarding, and skaters should seek for places themselves. Because of this problem there are sometimes conflicts with guards, police and law enforcement agencies.The fact is the aim of skaters is not to rebel against traditional things of our society and not to break its laws, but to enjoy this kind of sport. We are young, we are not dangerous, we just want to develop ourselves this way, we have this right and we want our society to understand it, to accept our way of life and help us with problems instead of banning things."
Extreme sport…  Are you for or against it?

I'm for extreme sport beacause sport is a physical activity of people or teams play against each other and try to win!
Nowadays people pay much attention to their health; because they earn for living, have families, want to be active in the life. They know that “health is above wealth”. They try to keep the right way of life, go to the stadiums, do morning exercises and visit fitness clubs, ski and skate. So they are cheerful and energetic. Sports give to people a lot of fun, relation of their work, many new friends and energy.
Some people being good sportsmen need more. They want to be exited and to have much adrenalin in their blood. That’s why they choose extreme sports, such as surfing and windsurfing, sailing and yachting because they want top compete with nature, wind, sea. Some people prefer diving, because on the one hand it is remarkable water world and on the other hand they want to feel themselves in the extreme situation.
Another extreme sport is parachuting. Maybe, they want to feel themselves birds and they have the highest level of their emotions when they are flying in the air above land.
Some people, especially young men, are fond of car racing. They get part in the competitions and try to show the high results of speed. I know, that in Moscow there is a special club, who organize races at night. I think that they are so energetic that only in this way they can let off steam.
Of course, it’s very dangerous, but people can’t live without them, it’s like the air to breathe for them, it` like theirs air to breathe.
What else? I think that everybody must do sports, because it makes us healthier.

Skateboarding is not my sport. I can't skate but I respect skateboarding as a sport and as a pert of culture.

Sometimes I like to watch over skaters on squares. They are young, they are purposeful and it is not right to forbid this kind of sport. Every person is an individual and may choose their pastime.

I agree with Dima that "society must understand it, to accept their way of life".

I think that every kind of extreme sport is exciting. I am fond of looking at people who go in for skateboarding. I like their fast movement, danger tricks, concentrated faces and their powerful energy, that gives me positive emotions and makes me feel HAPPY! It is very interesting to watch skateboarding competition.
I don't blame these people because it is their point of life, it is their happiness and love. Moreover, skateboarders want to be exited and to have much adrenalin in their blood.
Skateboarding likes reading books is an opportunity to express our identity, to improve of ourselves, to find harmony between soul and body.We are young and we can do it!

I love extreme sport! The occupation by extreme sports enables to express you self. Presently skaters and street traiser are more often considered as violators of the order. Our city hasn’t a suffictnt number of the special routes and premiseses in which they could perfect new stunts without touching the life of simple town’s folk. They choose as routes city streets and city dwellors don’t like it.

I have never gone in for skateboarding. I think this extreme spot is dangerous. Many people break hands, feet, back, but and other parts of body. I like to observe tricks of skaters on TV. Sometimes it seems that my heart will stop breathing when they make tricks. I think any sport is good, but moderately.

I think that skateboarding is a very entertaining but at the same time and very traumatic sports. Many molozhezhi skate parks, squares and alleys, making fantastic tricks. Must train long and hard to make at least part of what makes true professionals. These people spend all their time svobnoe training and the result is very beautiful.

Though it is very dangerous kind of sports, but very interesting.
Unfortunately, a problem of a skateboarding is absence of special places for this sports,
but it does not prevent to develop these sports.
I hope that we will have such places.
