About This Quiz
If you are good at it, there is nothing more fun than skateboarding. And it isn't just the sport that is cool, it is the entire culture, whether it be the music you skate to, the clothes and sneakers that you wear or the camaraderie you have with fellow skaters. It is one of the best sports ever, as long as you have skills. But skills don't just happen overnight, you have to do a lot of work to be good at skateboarding. But if you do work hard at it, you might become a star or the sport.
If you were a famous skateboarder which one would you be? You might not have heard of Rodney Mullen; he is one of the very best technical skateboarders of all time. Would you be like him? If you know anything about skateboarding you have to know about Tony Hawk; he is probably the most famous skateboarder of all time. What about Rod Drydek? He might not be the best skateboarder ever, but he might be the funniest and most successful in entertainment. You don't have to be able to do a nollie kickflip to take this quiz about which famous skateboarder you would be...but it sure wouldn't hurt.
