Skateboarding rated for difficulty by ESPN

Greater than calf roping. Less than badminton.

ESPN gathered a panel of experts to rate the difficulty of 60 sports based on 10 criteria. Skateboarding came in at 37, sandwiched between difficult distance swimming and sprints in track and field. Some noticeable more difficult sports include badminton and team handball while the easier sports include calf roping, golf and table tennis. Settling the argument once and for all, skateboarding ranked 16 sports harder than rollerskating (and presumably rollerblading), which tied with cheerleading. Gentlemen, start your pom pom jokes!

  2. Golf is rad and really hard. Why do people think golf in an “easy” sport? I’m certain that anyone who says that is a really shitty golfer, or has never tried to really play
