Skateboarding has been around for over thirty years.  Skating originated when surfers took their surfboards and 2x4s and nailed roller skate wheels to them.  In the 80's skateboarding changed for the better when truck and board companies started making new and improved skateboard parts that would revolutionized the world of skateboarding for ever.
