      <![CDATA[Re: “Sports Boom or Sports Hype?”<br>
Great blog John.<br>
<br>
Tennis is fun but anytime you need another person to do your activity you are not going to get the draw for the sport like get with sports that have a solo component to them. I.e. Basketball, fishing, running, walking.<br>
<br>
As for skateboarding, you won't see Memphians doing that unless you comb the neighborhoods or check out my backyard full of neighborhood kids that skate on the halfpipe . Or you come to a skate boarding demo where 400 Memphis youth show up at the drop of a hat....<br>
<br>
 Here is a quote from Jeff Haley  who was the project manager for the new Memorial skate park in Colorado Springs.
