Some skateboarders are not the best people but you can’t say everyone who does bad stuff is a skater or that only skaters do bad stuff. A lot of skatebarders ride street and that’s much different than park so skateboarders riding around most times just get bothered for doing nothing because people don’t like skateboarders. A lot of normal people skate for fun and to do something with their friends and they get yelled at by random people for doing nothing. If someone was riding there bike with their friends you wouldn’t yell at them for just
Most scooters are younger kids. Do you see more 4 year olds running around on a skateboard or on a razor scooter? That's because you just hop and go on a scooter. They are young, lack tendency for a sustain skatepark effort (Skatepark Development Guide). They are causing accidents or jumping in the way.
I think one reason for this is, as it said in the article, many people don’t want “serious injuries” (a.k.a. lawsuits) but, a little sting from a ball isn’t even close to a serious injury. These outrageous bans are sucking the fun and lessons out of gym by not letting them learn about risks and how to deal with pain, mental and emotional.
Dodgeball was born over 200 years ago in Africa, where they used rocks to throw at each other and worked together as a team. The game is still played today and uses the same aspect of teamwork, but foam balls are used instead of rocks. Many people think that dodgeball is still too violent and shouldn’t exist. Dodgeball should not be banned in schools because it has health benefits, offers a challenge, and lets students look forward to going to school.
After being mesmerized by figure skating at the age of eight, I became a member of the Markham Skating Club. As a competitive figure skater, I must perform various jumps and spins in a choreographed program. I have participated in numerous competitions in Central Ontario and have received multiple medals for my achievements. Yet, my achievement as a figure skater stem from the adversity that I faced throughout my skating journey. This sport has imposed challenges to both my mental and physical strength that have ultimately constructed the qualities of dedication and humility within myself.
Turning, stopping, and making lateral movements are extremely easy to do on ice, but roller hockey is completely different. In roller hockey there is no such thing as making a tight turn or stopping on a dime, because the wheels just slide out from underneath the player. The stopping technique for roller hockey is basically the same as ice hockey, but the player slides a little before coming to a complete halt.
Skateboarding vs Snowboarding Skateboarding has been around since the dawn of time, someone put 4 wheels on the bottom of a 2x4. Snowboarding came soon after when some reckless nut put a piece of wood with 2 binding on it and went down a mountain like a skier. Both extreme sports have been around for a long time and will most likely be here long after we are all dead. “The first type of skateboard was actually more like a scooter. These contraptions, which date back to the early 1950's featured roller skate wheels attached to a two by four.
Freestyle is full of wild tricks, jumping and speed. The rider can be seen high in the air doing aerials, grinding berms, grabbing the board, jumping lumps, or riding backwards. Freestyle mimics skateboarding. Freestylers use natural obstacles to do their tricks. Riders find fallen trees, old buildings, bumps, dips and jumps where they can catch air and get their adrenaline going. They will also go to areas that have man made obstacle courses that resemble a skate park. In essence, it is a skatepark on the snow. These obstacles include ramps, jumps, and grinding bars. Freestylers also play in the halfpipe. It is a tightly packed area where dangerous tricks are performed. The rider must have great skill as they are moving extremely fast and catching major
Youths should not be banned in sports such as dodge ball, cheer leading and football.
Video games first appeared in the 1950s and were urbanized all through the 1960s. They came to importance in the 1970s and established an original and unlike entertainment industry in the world. These games have evolved notably with time and have become a culture on their own. Nevertheless, questions were raised about their effects on people which led to debates in societies about whether or not they should be banned. However, video games should not be banned in this age and time.
The idea of school without dodge ball is just terrible because of all the lessons and important information that children would learn with it. One of the reasons that dodge ball shouldn’t be banned from schools is that it is a game enjoyed by most children who play it and provides these children with exercise. When children hear that they are playing gym in school they get excited, happy and don’t care that they’re going to get exercise, in fact, they’re happy about it. If students are happy to play dodge ball, have fun doing it and get exercise while playing it then it most defiantly should not be banned. This game is an extremely important part of ones childhood since it helps students to understand if they’re strong or weak. There was once a game of dodge ball that came down to one man on one team and four on the other, and surprisingly the one man was able to beat the four even though
If a town has a skatepark that is built in the right spot and is also built correctly it could improve the looks of the town. Improving the looks of the town will attract people and skaters from everywhere. In order for this to happen the park has to be designed and built professionally. A few rails and ramps that are placed on the outskirts of the town are not going to improve the looks of anything. But, if a nice park is built in a busy, populated area where there are lots of people it will looks great.Not only do skateparks look good, but if it designed and constructed correctly, they are fiscally conservative and require little maintenance(Whitly). After they are built they practically last forever.
Skate parks in communities are an asset that reduces the number of skateboarders in inconvenient places. This domino effect reduces the number of complaints to police officers of the nuisance caused by skateboarders. One officer in Maine said, “The skaters are very respectful, and the skate park has cut down on the youth crime, especially vandalism and kids skating on the sidewalks. The park gives the kids something to do (“Cops Love Skateparks”). This officer’s words reflect how 90 percent of 92 officers felt about how skate parks are an asset to the community. Skate parks serve as an asset to the community because skaters do not have to trespass in order to practice their sport, and it keeps youths out of trouble. Another officer in Massachusetts said, “I can honestly say that, based on my 27 years of police work, if you can keep kids busy like the skate park has done, you have completely prevented a future adult offender (“Cops Love Skateparks”).” An asset like this for nearly 10 million skaters is priceless and every town should have one. In a literal sense skate parks get kids off the streets because it gives skaters a place to practice and perfect the sport they
For many individuals, skateboarding is an exciting and fun activity to participate in. Both children and adults have incorporated the sport into their lives recreationally or as a serious lifetime occupation. There are many reasons to why skateboarding can be a positive and rewarding experience for just about anyone. However, there are many individuals that find the sport to be dangerous and argue for its ban with flimsy opinions. The city should not pass a ban against skateboarders on all public property as there is no concrete argument on why their activities are harmful to such an extent; banning the sport would not only result in outrage from the abridgement of civil liberties and be an injustice to the diversity of our country, but force
As skateboarding evolved, it was once something kids do in their free time, later became a prospering sport. This started many new changes to our local cities. “No skateboarding” signs are being posted places that skateboarders would go to practice. Architects are finding new ways to redesign structures like benches and handrails in the city, in order to lower the abundance of skateboarder in an area. All these changes have resulted in a good amount of money spent redoing everything to prevent skateboarding, but nothing is being done to give skateboarders a safe place to skate. For young teens whose only transportation is a skateboard, they can only travel so far, and skateparks are not close enough. To eliminate the amount of skateboarders in heavily populated areas, I propose that cities invest more money into building skateparks so skateboarders have a safe place to practice the sport.
The author is also quite clear in that no one is calling for the sport to be banned, she is merely calling to have simple safety features made mandatory for all Events. Visual
