i started skating at age 12 or so, skated all thru high school. skated halfpipes everyday (had one in my backyard for a long time, 12ft wide, 40 ft long and 8ft high no, channel) and on weekends. ive always been overweight, skating that much changed nothing. we would travel and do street skating, visit other ramps and skate for hours on end. never made any real difference in my size.
on the same note, i worked setting up concerts for 12 to 15 hours a day, heavy manual labor. especially the last 4 years where i loaded the semis by hand with a few other guys. that made no real difference in my weight either. but, i can lift a few hundred over my head still.
so was Confucious correct or do they make skateboards pretty tough or do they come with one of those elevator signs (do not exceed xxx lbs)
