The american experience of skateboarding 2000’s 1980’s
1950’s
Freestyle skating remained popular, where Rodney Mullen invented many of the basic tricks of modern street skating. Skateboarding began influencing clothing styles, music and culture. By Mid 80s, the skateboarding magazine Thrasher was created.
Skateboarding was born in the late 1940s or early 1950s when surfers in California wanted something to surf when the waves were flat. It started with wooden boxes or boards with roller skate wheels attached to the bottom. As something fun to do when not surfing.
Skateparks started to appear, as well as skateboarding videogames. Slowly the sport starts to detach from the criminal stereotype.
