For me the skateboarding is a way to forget the problems, the stress of daily life and a way to be able to meet people with tastes equal to yours.
Well but in order to explain all this we should know where this movement is born, for that, we must go back to the mid-1950 in California where, surfers looked for how to take that sport to the streets.
At the beginning, the skateboards were very simple, using small surf boards to which he added wheels, but this would change in 1960 with Larry Stevenson, that together with your brand "MAKAHA" would revolutionize the sport with the considered the first skateboards of high quality.
As the sport became more popular, in mid-1970 also began to mark a unique style of dress that on several occasions it was confused with the hippie. Usually people used the long hair and t-shirts with shorts of multicolored something that from my point of view had to be very interesting. Also due to this United States became the leading distributor of the tables, trucks and wheels to the entire world.
Due to this incredible growth the skate became a universally famous sport that developed its own industry, with the appearance of different brands of tables, creation of the skateparks and the manufacture of accessories like clothes and shoes.
I hope you have liked, this is my first job, if you liked I will try to continue writing about the evolution of this sport until you reached what is now "A lifestyle".
