DeeLovesKarate Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Out of skateboarding... the ability to take a hit? =) Out of my skateboarding 'career' I learned the ability to land safely on the floor (due to falling off a lot practcing tricks)... a skill usefull in my later attempts at Aikido, where you attempt to blend with your opponents energy and your opponent attempts to blend you with the floor. I'd say skateboarding is also good for improving balance. I'd say that, but I'm not actually sure seen as it never seemed to improve my balance one jot! lol that is true. i wasn't trying to offend any fellow skateboarders, in any way. That's just a lot of what it did for me. I think dance may have done more for me, because i've done it for so long, but i've been involved in sports since age 4. Which is pretty good for being the first girl in my family, and the first alltogether. set a standard for injuries for the boys, i'll tell you that.

angelica d Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Cheers for the advice aefibird - sorry it took me so long to respond, I'm up to my ears in A levels! Yeah, can't wait to start horseriding, it should be great. And if it improves my (at the moment pathetic) kibadachi then all the more reson!

aefibird Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 lol, yes you'll be walking round in an enforced Kibadatchi for weeks after your first few lessons! Ah, the joys of horse-riding... Good luck with the A Levels, Angelica. I hope you do well!! What are you taking? "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

daeinwolf Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 All throughout my childhood I hiked and backpacked, which gave me very strong legs and endurance. While in HS I played baseball a bit. SiK---Joshua There are no limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
