Skateboarding

Skateboarding and its culture

Skateboarding has become a popular sport for the past three decades and is quite modern. In fact, skateboarding existed since 1980, which happens to be the year when the first modern skateboard was made. Since then, both young and not so young enjoy carving the streets and experience the adrenaline rush of free riding, trick Skating, and the like.

Skateboarding is deeply influenced by and derived from the art and sport of surfing. Surfing, developed and anchored in Hawaii, is the act of riding waves with a surfboard. Similar to surfing, skateboarding entails riding a skateboard on land, and more specifically, paved or concrete surfaces. Skateboards are made in different styles and made with different skating methods in mind.
