I've been snowboarding for a good portion of my life. BC, so surrounded by gr A mountains.

I just don't like pavement sports like skateboarding/inline.

I also wakeboard in the summer.

Skeelers are in-line skates with (usually) 5 wheels. They are longer than regular skates so you can have longer strides which makes them perfect for long distances.

Scooters anyone? It's funny, in Holland a scooter is some kind of motorised bike.... like this:

Yeah, that's what a scooter is here as well. However, we also refer to the unmotorized version as a scooter.

Scooter's aren't very popular here. They are generally considered to be dorky. Motorcycles are cooler.

Scooters are really a big thing here, probably because they're practical in the urban areas, which we have a lot.

I don't like scooters because they're associated with anti-social people.. or kids that wanna be cool but aren't.
