Skateboarding is Easier than Badminton?!
Thursday December 28, 2006
According to ESPN's ranking of the top 60 toughest sports, skateboarding came in at #37, easier than cycling, swimming, badminton and volleyball. Skateboarding is easier than volleyball ... sure it is. According to ESPN, skateboarding takes only slightly more nerve than water skiing, and less endurance than roller skating!
For some of you out there looking at getting into skateboarding, this should be great news! Don't do something difficult like soccer (#10) or tennis (#7) - instead, try something nice, easy and relaxing like SKATEBOARDING!
For those of you who already skate, you may be surprised first off that skateboarding was even classified as a "sport"! And, after that, you just might have some opinions about this list, and its "panel of experts." What do you think? Do you agree? Leave a comment below and voice your opinion!

those panel (experts) don’t know crap skateboarding is way harder than those gay sports
this made me laugh out loud. i bet none of those ‘experts’ ever picked up a skateboard in their lives.
Skateboarding is easier than all other sports. I’ve been doing it since I was 2 it just comes naturally due to the fact that I don’t have any hands (You try playing badminton with no hands!).
i think skateboarding is harder than mostly every sport. most other sports you can learn in a few days. skateboarding takes alot. i wonder what thoughs experts were thinking when they made top 60 toughest sport crap i really dont think its really accurate. i mean volley ball its diffanetly not harder than no skate boarding thats for sure
i have play a lot of other sports, and skateboarding is harder than each one i have played. and they say that it doesnt take guts to go and try it!
i still cant ollie and i have been trying for more than a year.
*laugh
sk8ing is definitely harder than any sport and IS NOT A SPORT
I have to admit that I’ve never tried skateboarding before (not much chance really in this part of the world), but I’ve read quite a number of articles and watched some videos of skateboarding (I’m really interested in skateboarding), and I’d LOL if anybody tell me skateboarding is easy, or it doesn’t require endurance, or skills, etc etc.. They have no idea what they are talking about.
And billiard is only harder than fishing ?? These guys are sure just a bunch of scientists who rarely do any sports.
pish posh lol skateboarding ent a sport its a way of life.!!!!!! Plus even if scientists were to research it properly they would find out how much skill and precision to do the tricks -_-” as for endurance well badminton take less endurance the fishing lol ( takes alot less patience aswell) gosh wot idiots and plus plz help with my trey’s
peace ppl and keep sk8ing
I use to run 40 miles a week. I have ridden a mountain bike 25 miles a clip.I have played most of the sports. Skateboarding is the most frustrating and most rewarding for me. I doubt any of the panelist have tried skateboarding.
Skateboarding is harder than any sport I’ve played. Those ‘experts’ would eat s**t just holding a skateboard.
as a studentstudying sport psychology, skateboarding is definatly a sport as it meets allthe criteria! and im doing my research on it! and as for it being easier that footie – i think not, all they have to do is kick a ball in a general direction run wow so difficult…
scientists used 2 be geeks when they were kids. so how do they know anything about sports? skating is the best sport ever!!!
skateboarding can b easy for some bt things come easier for others
for those so called experts, try back side flip down 10 stairs. Or, kick flip front board down a stair handrail then let me know if it is easier then soccer
