i don't know why ther are so many people out ther that call themselfs sk8ers. I am a rollerblader myself but i own a board and skate on it for fun. skating and boarding has realy picked up in the last five years. Most peoples goal in skating is to get sponcered. I believe that getting sponcered is great, but you shouldn't skate just to get sponcered. In the world right now it is extremely hard to get sponcered just because ther are so many good sk8er out there. skating should be about the rush you get when pullin off a grind that you know you can't do, or the insane feeling you get when jumpin a bench or ramp. i guess that is all i had to say.
