is your country EXTREME??? usa has had skating n bmx since the 70's both blew up in the 80s then died down a bit in the 90s but there was always the cool kid skateboarder image(imagine bart simpson or the kid from terminator 2) around 2000 the xgames blew that shit on tv and every kid on the block had bikes, boards AND blades now: no one rollerblades skateboarding is just as common as soccer n other crap bmx is about 1/3 as big as skating and now downhill mtb's are just as big if not bigger scooters also plague our skateparks, but its not that bad, you will only find little whitescooter kids swarming around skateparks in the suburbs where their soccer...err scooter mom shuttles them in in a giant SUV pretty much every city out here has a skatepark, and the population of that park really depends on the nieghborhood... suburb parks are filled with little kids on scooters n big wheels while innercity skateparks are filled with unemployed 20y.o's smoking weed n drinkin 40's parkour? no one does that shit in the US cept maybe like 1 or 2 ewierd kids jumping out of trees at the uni... but theyre on the same level as the guy who rides a unicycle to class

Yes. We're really good at the X-Games types of things. same with Skijumping, which is basically the most underrated badass sport. People flying over 100 meters.

My country is pretty extreme, but it's not about skating and other baby shit.

We have skate parks in pretty much every city. My city is filled with skateboarders. Rollerblading is popular with girls in their 20s. There are a few weird guys who do parkour or freerunning whatever it is. In some cities downhill mountain biking is quite popular, but because of very strict import laws good bikes have gotten really expensive. Kitesurfing, windsurfing and paragliding are fairly popular. I'm a kitesufer myself. Skiing and snowboarding are common too, if you consider those sports extreme.

Extreme sports are really popular in the Canary Islands. I like rollerblading myself (not sure if that's a verb though). Pic related is some surfer kid from the Canary Islands who became famous all over Spain for some shitty comercial.

Extreme sports, especially skate boarding was a legitimate counter culture that was cool until the end of the 90s. Then the "skater" became a marketable style and now people who skate are mostly faggots who think it's cool to be an idiot while wearing tall Ts and skinny jeans
