The first kind of skateboarding. skaters like Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta and the Z Boys virtually created.
it's often done on concrete waves, where you can apply the surf style to. early tricks that came with it were called 'bert slides' which is like the surfing move 'snap' (fs or bs) it's using your hand as a pivot to make a hella quick 180.
then somewhere around 1974-75, they z boys were bored, because the swell didn't come for three days in a row. they found an empty pool, and skated it.
hence, modern skateboarding was born.
-- it's also a shitload more fun than these flatland tricks. adrenaline rushes aplenty.
used with either a surfboard shaped deck with large wheels. (pool wheels, usually 56-62mm) or those sick 80's wide decks.

Get the Skateboarding mug.The best way for communities to avoid property damage is to provide some small skater parks here and there. Since shakeboarding is not a crime, skaters could go to the park without faer of being arrested. Yeah, it costs taxpayer money, but it would be about equal to the cost of constantly repairing damaged property. Kind of a catch-22 really.

Get the Skateboarding Bitch mug.the best sport ever, and yes its a sport. freedom. sport with no boundaries, rules, or limits. do whatever you want, however you want, whenever you want. no stupid coach to yell at you, and no stupid uniform. i do it for the thrill, not for fame,money,or chicks. people who do it for those reasons are just posers. and its way better than bmx. fuck metal molesters. skaters are stereotyped as dilinquents, but were not. theyre also stereotyped as having piercings, and died hair, and listening to punk music, but thats not me. i dont even listen to punk. its stupid. and i hate posers.

Get the skateboarding mug.Skating, the best thing besides music. and when you combine the two, it's phenomenal. Skating, has the most profound impact on me. I skate not cause I think it makes me cooler, or to be accepted into a group of people. I skate because it's one hundred percent freedom. It's not a sport. If it was every one could do it. It's not like baseball, where you just hit a ball and run around bases to get point to win. There is no winning in skating. The only win is when you finally land that trick that you've been working on for hours,days,or even weeks. That's the best feeling in the world. I've been reading some of the other defintions, some of them are true. Others aren't. They bash on BMXers. And they shouldn't, now I dont BMX, but i can tell it's JUST as hard as skating.Anyways. People that don't get skating obviously hasn't seen the beauty of it. But hey, your having fun and their not. So it's all good. Skating is about striving to get better and having fun while doing it.Skating is not about skating for money,fame, and chicks. If your doing that then, fuck you.
