Skateboarding has been an increasingly popular hobby and sport since the 1950's when the popularization of surfing in California created a new craze dubbed “sidewalk surfing”. The first skateboard consisted only of a wooden plank attached to roller skate trucks and wheels, but today the sport has evolved as fast as the boards themselves, which now have much improved trucks, wheels, ball bearings, and boards. Even though the focus has shifted from vertical ramp skating from the 1980's to street skating, skateboarding remains a popular hobby, sport and mode of transportation for young people around the world.
