why do dogs bite/attack skateboarders

I am a skateborder in the Nyc and almost everytime I skate past a dog they bark and try to run after me. one big white dog managed to bite/scratch me and when a big german shepard looked my way I stopped COMPLETELY! now my question is why do dogs do that

Answer #1

A speeding skateboarder awakens the prey drive in dogs…not to mention the territorial nature of dogs…

Answer #2

Maybe they just find it fun to do…if they do bite you though, just hit em with your board!

Answer #3

Because it’s fun chasing things?

Or maybe it’s because it’s in their nature to be hunters and you just seem like nice piece of meat.(prey) :)

Answer #4

You are in their space… plus you seem like a game or prey..

Answer #5

They like things that go fast. [:
