Nah, in skating it’s like this; some people just got it, some don’t. And yah, some of those people are fat.

Depends what you mean “skating”
If you mean rec skating, then it should be fine – its good excerise!
If its our sort of skating… then I would love to see how the hardware will last!

What the hell is this topic all about? I’ll say as long as your able to skate. Weight doesn’t count for a damn thing.

I’m not huge but I’m not small either. I’m about 210-220 lbs.

I still skate. Hell, I can jump higher and go faster than anyone I skate with. Of course, if you have a problem with large people skating, we can always put it up to a one on one.
