Plenty of people say they are real skaters when they don’t actually skateboard at all. These people are posers. To them, skateboarding is mostly a fashion statement and they have no interest in actually riding. Most posers will brag about what tricks they can do, but they are never seen even riding a board. Some posers get pretty good at fooling people about their abilities, but as long as you know what to look for, you can spot the difference between a poser and real skater very easily.
