skatebaording

Question
Good day,
My name is Neil and I am working on a project for my Information Technology class.  I was hoping that you might help me.  My research question is: 揥hy is skateboarding so popular?? Part of my research involves finding experts on the Internet.  I would really appreciate you answering a few questions for me.  I will take the information you provide me, compare it with what others have said and with other research findings, make some conclusions about my question, and then create a Web site.  
You need to be aware that I may be using any information you provide me on my Web site, but that I will keep your name confidential.  My Web site should be published by the middle of June and will be available on our school Web site (www.courtenaymiddleschool.com).
Here are my questions:
Why do people enjoy skate boarding?
What does it take to become a skateboarder?
What is so attractive in a kid about skateboarding?
My email address is [email protected] Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with my research.

Answer
good question...the reason i think that people enjoy skatboarding is because its a individual sport...there are no teams..just you..as for what it takes to become a skateboarder is just like everything else...detemination and patience...you just dont hop on a skateboard and be good at it(even though it might seem like some kids do) you have to work for a long time at it.  and i dont know really what is attractive to kids about it...it depends like the kid i guess....i know i started because it was different from other sports...but then i grew to love it...hope that helps...
