Add skateboard and/or Longboard to Exercise app

[Michael96]

Hello;

I believe it would be much of a benefit to include "riding" exercise's. It would function similarly to the Bike exercise, giving you distance traveled, time, maybe even for the snow sports: Mapping to a compatible app of the exact path taken on the mountain. This concept could also be used for the dry sports, i.e skateboarding.

Just purchased the charge 3, a little disappointed that such an established company hasn't bothered to add in such common activity's or at least partnered with another app to use in conjunction with the Fitbit.

I am supporting the other posts asking for skateboarding/longboarding as options for sports type within the FitBit series of trackers. In 2023, Technavio Research Reports predicted that the market size for skateboarding will grow to 919.58 million (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/skateboard-market-size-set-grow-110000886.html).
