    I think aliens watching any professional or Olympic class amateur sporting events would come away with a very big misunderstanding of average human physical abilities.

    I wonder what awesome sports aliens get up to that we’d never have thought of or aren’t possible with our physiology and environment.

    Haha, I love that comparison! I can just imagine aliens gathering around, completely amazed by how effortlessly skateboarders pull off tricks, like we do with cats. It’s the perfect mix of "how do they do that?" and "is this some kind of superpower?"

    I like aliens, too, like to watch as skateboardists always manage to survive without the need to land on paws like cats.

    Skateboarding is insane, I don’t understand the physics of it. How the hell is an ollie possible?

    That’s also how humans watch skateboarders.

    I’ve watched skateboarders before and they fall over loads.

    Admittedly I’m not an alien though.

    What skateboarders do you watch that never fall?

    They’ll just be laughing at our lack of hoverboards.

    For every 1 video of a successful skateboard trick, there’s 100 fail videos.

    More like watching all of humanity as apes with rockets. Someone who can travel such distances is so advanced it’s like for us seeing those bow and arrow people on some remote islands. Do we touch them? No, we just let them be
