A Brief Summary of Skateboarding
Skateboarding is very popular among the crowd of teenagers of todays time. Skateboarding has grew and grew all the way from the early 1940s. The first skateboards were actually nothing like todays modern skateboards. In fact, they, at the very beginning, didn't even have a manufacturer. Kids just simply took some wood and some roller blade wheels and attached them together. They called it street surfing. Street surfing began when the waves in California was either to low or to high to surf, so they came up with a alternative. These early skateboards were very dangerous and not as common found as the modern skateboard.
