We can now thank the radical, perception-altering influence of the 1960s for the increased popularity and production of skateboards. Certainly still holding some cache as an activity with instant street cred even today, skateboarding has been passed on to a third generation of shredders and grinders, who have taken the sport to a whole new level.
