What is skateboarding and how was it made?
Skateboards came from surfboards when surfer's couldn't surf because there were no waves they made a small skateboard with wheels and trucks on the bottom. they did that so it could move like a surfboard. Skateboards were made around the 1950's but it didn't get popular until the late 1960's. It was vary popular in California because people would surf but when there was no waves then they would skateboard. This all started in Dog-town California. One of the first skate teams were from Dog-town the zephyr team. people still Skateboard today and a lot more people do it more that back then it's hared to learn but fun to do.
Things you need for a skateboard.
First you need the skateboard and make sure that it has 8 holes for the screws to go though. then you need to get some grip tape for the top of your board so your shoes can grip to it. Then you need hard where like screws and nuts so you can put the trucks on you need 8 of everything. once you have that all together next in the wheels and barrings. first you need to pop the barrings in then put them on the pegs of the trucks then the nuts and tighten them on you don't want them to tight because you want to be able to move. After all that when it's all put together go out and skate don't forget a helmet.
protection.
you always should were a helmet at all times and pads but some people don't and they regret it when they get hurt. Wearing a helmet and pads may look stupid but it can save your life. Even pro skaters wear helmets and if they don't just remember they are pro so they are better but antecedents can happen.
what do you get from skateboarding ?
If you are really good and become pro than you can get a lot of money and fame out of it but that wont last that long. If you skateboard every day your skills will improve you will learn new tricks and master them. you will also get strong from skating every day mostly your lower body but it depends on if you are a street skater or a ramp skater you can be both. No one is perfect you just need to love skateboarding and that is enough.
