Skate Boarding Questions in snowboard section?

Question

Why do people ask about skateboarding and mountain boarding in the SNOWBOARDING SECTION??

Answer 1

Because there is no skateboarding or mountain boarding section.  Skateboarding's progression is just as hard, if not harder than snowboarding, so don't think we're so special.

We're just lucky enough to have our own section.  Share it with a sport that's been around longer than snowboarding and takes just as much skills.  Not sure when mountain boarding came about though.

Haters need to die.

Because this is the only boardsport section that gets frequented (besides surfing), although it has slowed down considerably since winter ended...Just about all boardsports share something with each other.  Plus, many snowboarders skate in the off-season.

It's quiet in here...

Answer 2

because they don't know the difference.  POSERS!!

Answer 3

R4L is definitely correct. Many of the best snowboarders I've met are also great skateboarders. Because a lot of people participate in multiple board sports and because there is no skateboarding forum it makes sense, you can ignore those questions if you are not interested.

Also, people ask questions about cross-training on skateboards, mountain boards, etc. to keep themselves in shape during the summer. I personally have begun getting into skateboarding for want of something to do during the long snowless months, because a lot of the skills translate between sports and it keeps your muscles in shape, and of course it's wicked fun.

Answer 4

why do people mind? theyre both board sports.

ormaybe the real question is : why don't skateboarders have thier own section?
