How extreme should I go? You Decide.

Posted by ActiveAdmin on Apr 20, 2007 2:05:00 PM

Dear readers,

 

The weather is getting warmer and I'm looking for more reasons to get outside and enjoy being active.

 

My first love is team sports. However, I want to broaden my horizons and take up a new action sport. I want you to decide which one I pick up. I will post which sport got the most votes and updates on how I am progressing.

 

So, let's hear it. Should I be grinding at the skate park? Hitting the trail? patricia.oberhaus@active.com

Unless you enjoy broken bones, I'd stay off the skateboard.  Snowboarding provides a nice, soft entry into the Action Sports world.  Plus, you can cover yourself to the point of being unrecognizable if you do anything to embarrass yourself!

I agree that skateboarding is dangerous but I tried taking it up last year and although I constantly have bruises and scrapes all over...it's a lot of fun- and a great form of transportation too. I say give it a go! Just start with a board with big soft wheels-- easier to get over cracks.
