Yes, I've never gotten the appeal. Some of the hardest, most difficult tricks to learn just look so unimpressive to those of us who don't skate. If you put that much effort into something else you could be doing backflips or dunking a basketball, but instead you're jumping two inches in the air and then clattering. Wow.
