I am 16 years old pretty athletic I’m on the Varsity Football team….I have never really learned I’ve messed around with friends coasting down small hills on a skateboard and have pretty good balance….but realistically do you think it is to late?
I will be yet another person to say it sure isn’t too late. And you’re 16, so how come you’re asking like you’re 90? haha. :)….and I was really happy to see the one guy above me who answered with the thing about someone he knows who started at 54. Wow, more people should do that. haha.
In my area, which isn’t so great for skating to begin with, it’s rare to see someone skating who looks like they’re in their early 20’s, let alone older. It’s too bad society in general looks at skateboarding as a thing that’s only for teenagers or younger kids. I think it’s cool how it isn’t all mainstream like football, etc., but it would be nice to have it be generally accepted more, and also have more older people who get into it, or don’t stop doing it mostly because of their age.

im making a skate team but i need a name for it and a name for our first video for the name i was thinking 5-0 skateboards and video take 5 but i want more suggestions
Usually people name there skate teams after where they are from, and just twist it up a little. Like Zoo York. I'm not sure what kinda words you would want in your team name tho, so its kinda hard to answer.

I've heard that they were one of the first skateboarding teams in the world…..
Yes, they were one of the first skatetboarding teams indeed. They started out in Michigan in the late 1980's by a fellow named Jerry Larsh. He later recruited Jayson Gonzales and Roger Hanson as secondary members, as well as others. The symbol, a smiley face, was directly paying homage to the 1970's smiley "have a nice day" smiley face. The smiley face on the skateboard meant that you were worthy enough to be sponsored by Team Smiley. The militant skate group was in part based on the philosophy of Buddism, in which deep concentration was one of the major factors of the team. You were asked to concentrate on skating only and keep up with current skating concepts in order to keep your sponsorship and recieve all the groups amenities. Also, all sports of any kind were considered to be a distraction to the group and prohibited, as well as a reason to have your sponsorship swiftly taken away. The leader of the team, Jerry was so strict, that if he found you that you weren't skating enough, or that you participated in sports other than skating, you were instantly kicked off the team. You were given a soft-spoken firing, and off the team you went. The now defunct skate team were never able to stay around for long, or gain much exposure partly due to Jerry's impossible demands. Despite the early demise of Team Smiley, they still continue to inspire young skaters today.

do you have to enter demos? is it a force? do you have to go on tour? or it's all in your choice. what happens? do you have to go out of town to travel with your team? do you have to go out of town to go to different cities to find better skateboard areas and skateparks to practice skateboarding? do you have to get to together with your team to practice skateboarding? do you have to live in the same city your team lives in? what if you don't?
yup.
