Most parents want success for their children.
There are many who discourage their children from taking up skateboarding because they felt that there would not be a future even if their children master the skill.
Skateboarding was associated to bad mannered kids that were roaming around on the street in the past but it became an official sport that is more recognised in recent years.
There are some fortunate ones that become professional skateboarders and earn a decent living out of their passion for skateboarding.

The majority may just simply enjoy skateboarding as a hobby as well as an avenue to release their stress and anger of life.
There may be skateboarders who had behaved badly due to their personal problems but majority are good people who simply enjoy the thrill of learning new tricks.
Skateboarding has been used for many charity drives in recent years and it has been used to bring back youth who had gone the wrong pathway.
