Is there a sport more impressive than skateboarding?

I did baseball, basketball, football, snowboarding, dirtbiking, etc...

But skating was by far the hardest

The amount of difficulty to skate down a handrail or go down a big gap is insane

Pros make it look easy but the technical difficulty is huge

fear is not athleticism

your argument fails

setting yourself on fire or having a pit bull rip your balls off would then be a more impressive sport

Scariest moment of my life was trying to drop in on a quarter pipe knowing there’s a 90% chance I eat it. Busted my ass every time.

You have to try it to truly appreciate what skaters can do.

How big?

Biggest I dropped in was a 10ft quarterpipe and a 10 foot bowl

I was too scared to try the 12ft half pipe at spot lol

You record fat chicks at clubs without even talking to them and go home to jerk off to the videos. You’re opinion is irrelevant.

It was small about 4’ but seemed like 10 at the top lol

I wish I would have skated when I was younger, one of the funnest things I’ve done. I bought a board with my covid Trump bucks.

Yeah I did - until I was like 14

I wasn’t very good tho - I could clear an 8 set, do all the basic tricks (heel flip, kick flip, 3 flip etc.) and could do like basic front side and back side board slides and 50-50s.

It’s basically all we did as kids - we’d go to construction sites, steal wood and build ramps and stuff on our street for our own makeshift skatepark.

Was super into wakeboarding and snowboarding as well.

As someone who played team sports they don’t even compare to how difficult extreme sports like skating are srs.

The hard thing about skateboarding is as you progress, you try more dangerous/technical stuff and you’re more likely to get injured and when you get injured the progression is halted.

I've been skating for 14+ years. No, it's not the hardest sport/physical activity.
I tried MMA, and no, mma isn't harder than skating. Most MMA gyms play it safe and everyone floats at the same level. Skating, the locals will go super hard, especially in big cities, which is not the case with any martial art.
The hardest physical activity with the fittest athletes bar none that has ever existed is Alpine Climbing
-40 below
100+ mph winds
very little sleep for weeks
very little food
tens of thousands of pull ups
an extreme amount of technical skill and knowledge
high altitude no oxygen
super lethal

No skating is not impressive. Even if you die doing the most impressive stunt ever it's still just a retard on a skateboard. No one cares.

Wrong. A community of millions cares. Btw skating is rarely fatal. For some reason, people don't really die skating.
