I taught my sons how to skateboard and snowboard in 1987...Yeah, I guess we did look a little rough (still do)...but, it's not what's on the outside that matters.

Those young men who rescued the baby are to be commended. Cat

PS: Skateboarding & skating ARE 'sports' - and can
actually progress to 'extreme' sports such as at the X-Games. Both activities require a lot more in the way of agility, balance, and general overall fitness than just kicking a silly ball around. I would tell him soccer is for sissies, and the REAL athletes are jumping stairs and grinding rails. Lots more interesting to watch, too!
