    Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, that’s how World War I got started.

      On the other hand you don’t want to dismiss everything you read on the Internet. That’s how World War II got started.

    Before Avril, we called it rollerboarding. The boards were considerably larger and you would propel yourself along with a long pole, like a gondola. Only the wealthy could afford true rollerboards, however, we would make our own with scrap wood. I had one that was a modified old door that I had attached bicycle wheels to the sides of. That board would FLY down hills but you needed the whole neighborhood to pull the damn thing back up again.

    Except Avril Lavigne hasn’t been Avril Lavigne ever since the switch. If you’re going to spread lies, at least use a real person maybe?

      But everyone knows Avril Lavigne died in 2003, and Avril Lavigne did invent skateboarding in 2002. He’s not spreading lies, he’s exaggerating the truth.

      The truth being, of course, there is no spoon.

    Skateboarding was not a woman’s invention. Not sure who did but it predates 2002 by at least 30 decades because I had one as a kid in the 70s
