Talk About Being Stoked
Jun 23rd 2007eExtreme Sports
This may come as news to some people, but skateboarding is now a high school team sport and the inaugural season just came to a close. Last week Santa Monica High School used a victory in the final competition and to clinch the first ever California High School Skateboard Club overall title. Congratulations to Santa Monica—I’m still in shock the kids from the L.A. math and science magnet high school didn’t win the title.
The CHSSC, which includes seven schools, is the first league of it’s kind, but if it’s successful more high school skateboarding leagues could pop up around the country. I just hope skateboarders know what they’re getting themselves into. Being part of a sanctioned team means you must deal with academic eligibility, set practice times, and possibly drug tests. Nothing says “extreme” quite like biology tutors and urinating in a cup.
