<p>Can I mention long-boarding on an essay that asks for participation in sports and other nonacademic areas, or is it laughable, like video-games?</p>
<p>Go ahead and include it. Any college that would reject you for that is a college you probably wouldn’t want to attend.</p>
<p>Beckythecat, I followed you from the common ap forum My son listed longboarding and snowboarding in his EC list. They are legitimate individual sports. Not everyone does team sports.</p>
<p>Lol, thank you.</p>
