History Of Street Skateboarding

Some surfers had the idea to transfer the feeling of riding waves onto the streets to defy times of days with a gentle swell.

History of street skateboarding. No one really knows who made the first board it seems that several people came up with similar ideas at the same time. Instead of drained swimming pools and riding purpose built skateparks skateboarders began to utilise urban areas and public spaces. Vertical skating also called vert features aerial acrobatics performed in half pipes that were originally built to emulate empty swimming pools. Considered one of the so called extreme sports skateboarding as a professional sport boasts a range of competitions including vertical and street style events.

The history of skateboarding no one knows for sure when officially skateboarding was born but most people agree it started in the late 1940s or early 1950s. Skateboarding first showed up in california in the 1950s when surfers got the idea of trying to surf the streets. Surfers in california were always looking to catch a wave but wanted something to surf when the waves were flat. Not without any reason these dudes were called asphalt surfers.

However the world s first skateboard would only see the light of day somewhere between the early 1900s and the late 1950s depending on what a skateboard is for historians and skating fans.
