Weight and Build
I was watching the X-Games superpark competition with my wife. While we were talking my wife expressed the opinion that I have the wrong build for skateboarding. For reference the competitors all seemed to be somewhat above average height (5' 10" - 6' 2" I would guess) and fairly light (under 170lbs maybe less). I am somewhat below average height 5' 7" and after 15 years of weightlifting a solid 220lbs. While there are some sports that ones body type clearly helps performance (basketball), I never really thought of skateboarding that way. What do you think?
