7 The Origins of Skateboarding The sport of skateboarding has had more ups and downs than a skate park. In the Beginning The earliest form of the skateboard dates back to the early 1900s. It was nothing more than a scooter made with roller skates, a two-by-four piece of lumber, and a wooden crate. Another piece of wood at the top of the crate served as the handles. 1950s Version It wasn t until the 1950s that the crate and handles were removed. Kids started riding hands free. That s when skateboarding was truly born. Every kid wanted a skateboard! By 1959, skateboards hit store shelves. A few years later, professional skateboarders were wowing crowds. The Safety Issue Those first boards were dangerous, though. Steel wheels felt choppy. Clay wheels were unsafe. After serious injuries were reported, the popularity of skateboarding went downhill. Stores stopped selling them. Cities banned them. By 1965, the sport was almost dead. Better Wheels In 1975, new skateboards were made with better wheels. They were made of urethane, a type of rubber. The ride was smoother and safer. New skateboards designs had a kick tail that turned up at the end. The new design made tricks possible. Skateboards were hot again! Ups and Downs Since then, skateboarding has gone up and down in popularity. Today, skateboarding video games help to fuel its popularity. Many cities have built concrete skate parks with ramps and rails for tricks. Competitions are held around the world. Some enthusiasts even want to make skateboarding an Olympic sport.
