Before Avril, we called it rollerboarding. The boards were considerably larger and you would propel yourself along with a long pole, like a gondola. Only the wealthy could afford true rollerboards, however, we would make our own with scrap wood. I had one that was a modified old door that I had attached bicycle wheels to the sides of. That board would FLY down hills but you needed the whole neighborhood to pull the damn thing back up again.
Skateboarding was not a woman’s invention. Not sure who did but it predates 2002 by at least 30 decades because I had one as a kid in the 70s
It’s sarcasm dude and 30 decades would be 300 years it’s not that old
Yeah well i mistyped. Supposed to be just 3
Growing up in the 60’s I had a skateboard called a monster with a picture of a monster on the top. It had metal skate wheels on it. My uncle said they used to make something like that in the 40’s by nailing a skate onto a board, though it sounded more like a scooter since they usually added a handle to the front.
Except Avril Lavigne hasn’t been Avril Lavigne ever since the switch. If you’re going to spread lies, at least use a real person maybe?
But everyone knows Avril Lavigne died in 2003, and Avril Lavigne did invent skateboarding in 2002. He’s not spreading lies, he’s exaggerating the truth.
The truth being, of course, there is no spoon.
It was invented in 1955 by Calvin Klein
Skateboarding is male dominated because women learn falling as you age isn’t fun faster than men.
Don’t tell that to the roller derby teams
Wait skating is male dominated? I’m an old now, but that wasn’t the case in my town when I was a fellow kid.
Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, that’s how World War I got started.
That reminds me of my favorite quote from the author of Eat, Pray, Love:
True, Archduke did a sick run at the Sarajevo Skatepark, everyone cheered but the Serbs didn’t liked being owned like that. Thus WW 1 started.
Abe Lincoln famously warned us about how people make up shit on the Internet.
Akshually, skateboarding was invented by a certain Marty McFly in 1955.
I remember seeing historical record film about this that was recorded on an magnetic tape medium.
Betamax?
Video2000
Maybe betacam?
I do hate this stuff because there are so many things that just don’t know things and get their information from searches that then might then use this.
this is what I said about the Linux memes about Linux being hard to use, people were upset I said that because of the “can’t take a joke” angle
but I seriously believe that those memes do more harm than good
thing is im such a hypocrite because I was super sarcastic and I can totally see why folks do this stuff for fun but man I never realized how it would end up influencing little cults when the internet grew up.
it’s more of a “know your audience” thing for me
I can make all sorts of stupidly sarcastic jokes with my friends but when it comes to the internet there’s probably thousands of idiots who read content and take it as face value and as genuine
There is more that meets the eye,
Can I make it more obvious?
This is how the story ends…
Well it wasn’t good enough for her.
She literally said “see ya later, boys.”
