skateboarding people......
People HAVE accidents because they do something wrong or in the wrong place. Accidents are not sitting around waiting for people to happen upon them.
Because there are people there and people get into accidents and die. Why do Americans like cheeseburgers?
Most people don't hate skateboarding, they hate the culture that surrounds it, the need to be rebellious, the drug use, the screw the world attitude.
Type your answer here... 4.3 thousand people think that skateboarding is not a sport
Not many in North America but its getting better. Skateboarding is much more supported in foreign countries frankly because they don't know what to make of it.
Basketball is a more widely played sport but I guess its whoever you talk to Skateboarding is much more popular than basketball because I ask people what is your favorite sport between basketball or skateboarding and they say skateboarding.
Most car accidents happen because people are careless. People also do things while they are driving that cause accidents, such as using cell phones, texting and eating.
