Skateboarding started when some kids used to put roller skates on the bottoms of two-by-fours. they would put upright posts on these contraptions, but they would often fall off. Rather than put a new post on, they'd sometimes just ride around the way they were. Eventually, someone patented this idea. over the years, many people elaborated on this concept, and skateboard tech has continued advancing to this day. Last word:) In my opinion, there are no norms in skating. My rule: BE YOU! 66.8.240.225 ( talk) 23:53, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I would like to clarify the history of the aerial.
As I know it and it can be confirmed by a photo of george orton from 1976 doing a bio aerial, tony alva's interview in skateboarder in 78 and the ollie history.
THe aerial's invention and development was NOT parallel and not in the 198o's.
Goerge orton invented and perfected the frontside aerial in 1976, there is evidence. What Orton "invented" was flying up and out of vert wall and then coming down that vert wall, the very first "air".
In 1978 Alan Gelfand (with Jeff Duer kinda doing it as well, ask Alan and Jeff) mastered the vertical no hands frontside air, opening up skateboarding to so many unvelievable on hands airs.
Each did something fist. Fist air, Orton, first tuck knee fronstide air Alva, first no hands master, Ollie Gelfand,

While the Oillie is certainly a fundamental skateboarding trick, I'm not sure this belongs in the *introduction* of a general article on skateboarding. It is definitely worthy of mention in this article, just not here, as not all forms of skateboarding are as dependent on this trick as street staking.-- Axatax ( talk) 07:10, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
That guy in Hawaii pushing his board with a oar/bamboo shoot looks like a complete douschebag. I'm not even certain this can be classified as skateboarding. This seems like total hipster BS. I'm 99% certain he works for Oracle. 75.224.54.157 ( talk) 04:34, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
That guy is not "skateboarding". He is "Kahuna Longboarding" (WTF kinda PC shit is this????). If he's "longboarding", then this should be in the *longboarding* article. He's not a SKATEBOARDER. He's a hipster poser and should be featured in the appropriate article.
I added a "controversy" section in order to bring the skatestopper article out of orphan status. I don't think this entry belongs under the heading it's currently under (probably needs a new major section), but I don't know how to change this (I'm very new at this....).
Please don't think I'm anti-skateboarding -- I'm not. I've been impaled by these devices on several occasions which is why I composed the Skatestopper article (the property owners installed a pair of these devices at the very bottom of an escalator we used to skate down inbetween in Fort Lauderdale, FL.)

By Nicholas A. Chavez Many people claim to have invented the first skateboard, and some even patented their ideas. Let’s look at some of those patents. The essence of a skateboard is a wheeled vehicle with axles that pivot on opposing diagonal axes (like the letter V) which allows it to be steered by tilting the deck. With few exceptions, all other wheeled vehicles are steered by the front axle that pivots on a vertical or near vertical axis: wagons, scooters, cars, bicycles, coasters, even unicycles. One exception is in-line skates and the like which travel in a straight line and are steered by lifting it off the ground and setting it down on new direction. The only relevant exception is quad skates. But unlike quad skates, the skateboard is not ridden in pairs, and is not attached to the foot by strap, clamp, clip, hook, lace, string, rope, tape, Velcro™, shoe, boot, nor by any means. That’s why grip tape was invented. Some who claim to have invented the first skateboard, invented something with a fixed or non-pivoting rear axle, which is more wagon-like than skateboard-like. Claims to be first have been made for things with both front and rear axles fixed and non-pivoting. Some have even claimed pairs of wheeled foot-things or skate-like things as the first skateboard. I think they have missed the essence of what a skateboard is. The modern skateboard came directly from clamp-on quad skates. Thomas Welch’s “skateboard” invention (5,236,208 - 1993) has both front and rear axles pivot vertically 360 degrees plus. Each axle is steered independently by a horizontal foot pad (steering wheel). Any air and you never know which direction the wheels are going to be when you land. You could mark the front and rear steering wheels. Even then, you couldn’t correct it until you had grip after you land, which is probably too late to prevent a wipeout. It misses being a skateboard on so many counts. The Humco Surfer used trucks that were patented by Albert Boyden (3,023,022 - 1962). They had wide track wheels and steel springs instead of the narrow track and rubber pad of roller skates that was used by other skateboards at that time. The Skeeter Skate was Henry Kinslow’s invention (2,474,946 - 1949). It was a scooter with a metal riding surface, a tall handle, and large wheels. Without the handle, this was a low-slung skateboard. The earliest patent for skate+board belongs to E. S. Eggs (1,247,801 – 1917) for his “Riding Attachment for Roller Skates”. His wood deck had two tandem blocks beneath. To each block he attached a whole, unmodified, clamp-on, roller skate. There was even a hole through the block for the ankle strap. When assembled, this was an 8-wheel skate-board. The very first patent for a skateboard was issued to Francis X. LaChall of Seattle, WA (0,887,812 - 1915). That’s almost a century ago. That’s like World War One time. They were still using horses then. His invention did not use skate-like trucks which had already been invented, but had wide-track, steel spring trucks; and off-road wheels. The tilt steering was controlled through beveled rack and pinion gears front and rear. His description included a child sitting on it coasting downhill (the reason for the short T-handle), and someone using it by standing on it. Too bad nothing came of it. I can’t even imagine what skateboarding would be like today if it had started here and had another 50 years of stunning advances. (LaChall's patent drawing available) Nicholas A. Chavez ( talk) 17:25, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
The growing popularity and style of skateboarding is something that is intriguing to many.The artistic aspect is most interesting to me. The sport is very difficult and hard to master,as is any. Skateboarding is unique in its own way. There is a lot of culture behind it, from clothing style to lifestyle. This sports growing popularity is taking the world by storm. Ten years ago it was something that was frowned upon by many due to the nature of the sport. Today it is becoming an accepted part of society due to its artistic value. The videos and photography of professionals depict amazing stunts which can only be done by someone as skilled as they are. This is intriguing to many, recently over the past 10 years established TV networks like ESPN and ABC have covered skateboarding contests and events. Companies like Nike, the most established shoe line in the nation has a special line for skateboarding shoes.Companies like Puma,Adidas, and New balance who primarily deal with more established sports are "dipping their hands" into skateboarding. The cultured clothing and other skateboarding merchandise is in high demand as well. There is great opportunity within this sport for everyone and it is a great individual and team sport for all ages.
Look.
Three people have already objected to the pic of that dude pushing a "skateboard" with a stick.
That is NOT skateboarding.
That is some type of long boarding, and belongs in it's own article, or in the "asshole" article.

So I want to edit skate articles. Lots of them. Maybe all of them.
I just worked on the anti-skateboarding section, because I've been writing about a plane crash and it wasn't fun and I needed to do something more fun. There aren't any references. But it was definitely a lot more fun than plane crashes.
References are going to be something of a problem. How have people been dealing with the citation needed thing? So much knowledge about skating is shared knowledge that everyone will know and understand. I don't really believe in googling for the reference I need and putting the first thing into a box just so there's a reference there. But I guess there has to be something.

Landowner Liability Issues Both skateboarders and landowners should have a deeper understanding about the law to avoid future problems not only for themselves, but also for others, such as skateboarders.
Landowner liability issues has been a serious concern of all time. It is because due to the fact of those skateboarder’s injury in the landowner’s property leading to the issue of landowner liability. For example, if a skateboarder is injured in a landowner’s property, then this will cause a lot of problems for the landowner since the landowner then has to hold the responsibility for the injured skateboarder.
As a result, some places have created laws and restrictions against skateboarding to protect the landowners from liability issues due to the injury in landowner’s property.
Safety
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are more than 25,000 people visiting hospital emergency rooms each year because of the injuries of skateboarding accidents. Here are the lists of the most common types of injuries:
In addition, the CPSC lists out some factors that may cause a great contribution to the increase of injuries happening annually. The lists are:
In order to avoid injury in skateboarding, the CPSC provides some lists that may help to reduce the chance of injury and the lists are::
Skateboard parts As a beginner in skateboarding, it is beneficial for the skateboarder to understand the concepts of the parts and their function in skateboarding. Here are the lists of the parts of the skateboard with a short description provided that demonstrates the function of each part.
There are two trucks in a skateboard. Every truck requires four mounting bolts to mount it on the board.
Griptape has two sides. One side is sticky and used to stick to the board. The other side has the texture of sandpaper, which provides skateboarders to have a better grip while skating.
The deck is the platform the skateboarder stand on and does all kinds of tricks on it. Also, it is made of wood.
Riser pads are made of rubber. Each truck requires one in order to prevent the wheels from touching the bottom of the deck. They are also used for shock absorption.
There are two trucks in a skateboard. In the truck, there is a horizontal metal axie used to set up and hold the wheels.
There are four wheels in a skateboard, two in the front and two in the back. Wheel may have a different sizes, and looks, depending on the owner’s preference. Also, some may even have a different texture, such as softer or harder wheels.
Spacer is a small piece of metal that separates bearings. There are three steps. First, put the bearing into wheels, then put the spacer in the middle of the wheel. Lastly, insert another bearing.
Bearing is a material that enables the wheels to spin smoothly.
Every wheel needs two nuts to keep the wheels held. Nuts not only holds wheels, but also holds both bearings and spacer.

Autopeds are essentially motorized skateboards and came in all kinds of shapes. They were in commercial production by 1915 so were around before that as homebuilds or hobby builds. /info/en/?search=Autoped
Before autopeds there were very small bikes for children (without pedals) sometimes called balance bikes or hobbyhorses. The first skateboard was probably a home repair to one of these, then a home conversion into a motorized autoped. As these kind of things spread slowly and autopeds were in commercial production by 1915 I would guess 10 to 50 years before that. Rollerskates were invented in 1863, so this seems right to me.
I'd say the first skateboard is somewhere between 1850-1900 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiuserinfinity ( talk • contribs) 19:00, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi everyone, my gender studies class is using WikiEdu for our projects and we're supposed to leave a brief article evaluation. While reading the "Culture" section, I noticed that there isn't much information about the demographic trends within skateboarding. Like the article mentions, social media has been utilized the past couple years to document new places and new tricks. However, it falls short in a way by not mentioning the current exposure diverse and international skaters are gaining through media. There is peer-reviewed social research that could expand the understanding of who is defining and shaping modern skater culture. Maybe this would be a good addition?

It would be good to add "history of first jumps" like figure skating has ( /info/en/?search=Figure_skating_jumps#History_of_first_jumps). It would do well to show the evolution of the sport. 89.201.184.188 ( talk) 20:06, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I propose merging Skateboarding trick into Skateboarding. Both articles cover the topic of skateboarding, with the article about tricks covering the subject more in detail. However, viewing the page info, the Skateboard trick article only has 6,185 bytes and 1,355 page views (past 30 days) while the Skateboarding article has 102,226 bytes and 19,380 page views (past 30). Therefore, a merge would not cause weighting problems and would attract more people to one concise and explanatory article. Who’s in? DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) ( talk) 20:46, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Skateboarding started when some kids used to put roller skates on the bottoms of two-by-fours. they would put upright posts on these contraptions, but they would often fall off. Rather than put a new post on, they'd sometimes just ride around the way they were. Eventually, someone patented this idea. over the years, many people elaborated on this concept, and skateboard tech has continued advancing to this day. Last word:) In my opinion, there are no norms in skating. My rule: BE YOU! 66.8.240.225 ( talk) 23:53, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I would like to clarify the history of the aerial.
As I know it and it can be confirmed by a photo of george orton from 1976 doing a bio aerial, tony alva's interview in skateboarder in 78 and the ollie history.
THe aerial's invention and development was NOT parallel and not in the 198o's.
Goerge orton invented and perfected the frontside aerial in 1976, there is evidence. What Orton "invented" was flying up and out of vert wall and then coming down that vert wall, the very first "air".
In 1978 Alan Gelfand (with Jeff Duer kinda doing it as well, ask Alan and Jeff) mastered the vertical no hands frontside air, opening up skateboarding to so many unvelievable on hands airs.
Each did something fist. Fist air, Orton, first tuck knee fronstide air Alva, first no hands master, Ollie Gelfand,

While the Oillie is certainly a fundamental skateboarding trick, I'm not sure this belongs in the *introduction* of a general article on skateboarding.

That guy is not "skateboarding". He is "Kahuna Longboarding" (WTF kinda PC shit is this????). If he's "longboarding", then this should be in the *longboarding* article. He's not a SKATEBOARDER. He's a hipster poser and should be featured in the appropriate article.
I added a "controversy" section in order to bring the skatestopper article out of orphan status. I don't think this entry belongs under the heading it's currently under (probably needs a new major section), but I don't know how to change this (I'm very new at this....).
Please don't think I'm anti-skateboarding -- I'm not. I've been impaled by these devices on several occasions which is why I composed the Skatestopper article (the property owners installed a pair of these devices at the very bottom of an escalator we used to skate down inbetween in Fort Lauderdale, FL.)

By Nicholas A. Chavez Many people claim to have invented the first skateboard, and some even patented their ideas. Let’s look at some of those patents. The essence of a skateboard is a wheeled vehicle with axles that pivot on opposing diagonal axes (like the letter V) which allows it to be steered by tilting the deck. With few exceptions, all other wheeled vehicles are steered by the front axle that pivots on a vertical or near vertical axis: wagons, scooters, cars, bicycles, coasters, even unicycles. One exception is in-line skates and the like which travel in a straight line and are steered by lifting it off the ground and setting it down on new direction. The only relevant exception is quad skates. But unlike quad skates, the skateboard is not ridden in pairs, and is not attached to the foot by strap, clamp, clip, hook, lace, string, rope, tape, Velcro™, shoe, boot, nor by any means. That’s why grip tape was invented. Some who claim to have invented the first skateboard, invented something with a fixed or non-pivoting rear axle, which is more wagon-like than skateboard-like. Claims to be first have been made for things with both front and rear axles fixed and non-pivoting. Some have even claimed pairs of wheeled foot-things or skate-like things as the first skateboard. I think they have missed the essence of what a skateboard is. The modern skateboard came directly from clamp-on quad skates. Thomas Welch’s “skateboard” invention (5,236,208 - 1993) has both front and rear axles pivot vertically 360 degrees plus. Each axle is steered independently by a horizontal foot pad (steering wheel). Any air and you never know which direction the wheels are going to be when you land. You could mark the front and rear steering wheels. Even then, you couldn’t correct it until you had grip after you land, which is probably too late to prevent a wipeout. It misses being a skateboard on so many counts. The Humco Surfer used trucks that were patented by Albert Boyden (3,023,022 - 1962). They had wide track wheels and steel springs instead of the narrow track and rubber pad of roller skates that was used by other skateboards at that time. The Skeeter Skate was Henry Kinslow’s invention (2,474,946 - 1949). It was a scooter with a metal riding surface, a tall handle, and large wheels. Without the handle, this was a low-slung skateboard. The earliest patent for skate+board belongs to E. S. Eggs (1,247,801 – 1917) for his “Riding Attachment for Roller Skates”. His wood deck had two tandem blocks beneath. To each block he attached a whole, unmodified, clamp-on, roller skate. There was even a hole through the block for the ankle strap. When assembled, this was an 8-wheel skate-board. The very first patent for a skateboard was issued to Francis X. LaChall of Seattle, WA (0,887,812 - 1915). That’s almost a century ago. That’s like World War One time. They were still using horses then. His invention did not use skate-like trucks which had already been invented, but had wide-track, steel spring trucks; and off-road wheels. The tilt steering was controlled through beveled rack and pinion gears front and rear. His description included a child sitting on it coasting downhill (the reason for the short T-handle), and someone using it by standing on it. Too bad nothing came of it. I can’t even imagine what skateboarding would be like today if it had started here and had another 50 years of stunning advances. (LaChall's patent drawing available) Nicholas A. Chavez ( talk) 17:25, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
The growing popularity and style of skateboarding is something that is intriguing to many.The artistic aspect is most interesting to me. The sport is very difficult and hard to master,as is any. Skateboarding is unique in its own way. There is a lot of culture behind it, from clothing style to lifestyle. This sports growing popularity is taking the world by storm. Ten years ago it was something that was frowned upon by many due to the nature of the sport. Today it is becoming an accepted part of society due to its artistic value. The videos and photography of professionals depict amazing stunts which can only be done by someone as skilled as they are. This is intriguing to many, recently over the past 10 years established TV networks like ESPN and ABC have covered skateboarding contests and events. Companies like Nike, the most established shoe line in the nation has a special line for skateboarding shoes.Companies like Puma,Adidas, and New balance who primarily deal with more established sports are "dipping their hands" into skateboarding. The cultured clothing and other skateboarding merchandise is in high demand as well. There is great opportunity within this sport for everyone and it is a great individual and team sport for all ages.
Look.
Three people have already objected to the pic of that dude pushing a "skateboard" with a stick.
That is NOT skateboarding.
That is some type of long boarding, and belongs in it's own article, or in the "asshole" article.

So I want to edit skate articles. Lots of them. Maybe all of them.
I just worked on the anti-skateboarding section, because I've been writing about a plane crash and it wasn't fun and I needed to do something more fun. There aren't any references. But it was definitely a lot more fun than plane crashes.
References are going to be something of a problem. How have people been dealing with the citation needed thing? So much knowledge about skating is shared knowledge that everyone will know and understand. I don't really believe in googling for the reference I need and putting the first thing into a box just so there's a reference there. But I guess there has to be something.

Landowner Liability Issues Both skateboarders and landowners should have a deeper understanding about the law to avoid future problems not only for themselves, but also for others, such as skateboarders.
Landowner liability issues has been a serious concern of all time. It is because due to the fact of those skateboarder’s injury in the landowner’s property leading to the issue of landowner liability. For example, if a skateboarder is injured in a landowner’s property, then this will cause a lot of problems for the landowner since the landowner then has to hold the responsibility for the injured skateboarder.
As a result, some places have created laws and restrictions against skateboarding to protect the landowners from liability issues due to the injury in landowner’s property.
Safety
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are more than 25,000 people visiting hospital emergency rooms each year because of the injuries of skateboarding accidents. Here are the lists of the most common types of injuries:
In addition, the CPSC lists out some factors that may cause a great contribution to the increase of injuries happening annually. The lists are:
In order to avoid injury in skateboarding, the CPSC provides some lists that may help to reduce the chance of injury and the lists are::
Skateboard parts As a beginner in skateboarding, it is beneficial for the skateboarder to understand the concepts of the parts and their function in skateboarding. Here are the lists of the parts of the skateboard with a short description provided that demonstrates the function of each part.
There are two trucks in a skateboard. Every truck requires four mounting bolts to mount it on the board.
Griptape has two sides. One side is sticky and used to stick to the board. The other side has the texture of sandpaper, which provides skateboarders to have a better grip while skating.
The deck is the platform the skateboarder stand on and does all kinds of tricks on it. Also, it is made of wood.
Riser pads are made of rubber. Each truck requires one in order to prevent the wheels from touching the bottom of the deck. They are also used for shock absorption.
There are two trucks in a skateboard. In the truck, there is a horizontal metal axie used to set up and hold the wheels.
There are four wheels in a skateboard, two in the front and two in the back. Wheel may have a different sizes, and looks, depending on the owner’s preference. Also, some may even have a different texture, such as softer or harder wheels.
Spacer is a small piece of metal that separates bearings. There are three steps. First, put the bearing into wheels, then put the spacer in the middle of the wheel. Lastly, insert another bearing.
Bearing is a material that enables the wheels to spin smoothly.
Every wheel needs two nuts to keep the wheels held. Nuts not only holds wheels, but also holds both bearings and spacer.

Autopeds are essentially motorized skateboards and came in all kinds of shapes. They were in commercial production by 1915 so were around before that as homebuilds or hobby builds. /info/en/?search=Autoped
Before autopeds there were very small bikes for children (without pedals) sometimes called balance bikes or hobbyhorses. The first skateboard was probably a home repair to one of these, then a home conversion into a motorized autoped. As these kind of things spread slowly and autopeds were in commercial production by 1915 I would guess 10 to 50 years before that. Rollerskates were invented in 1863, so this seems right to me.
I'd say the first skateboard is somewhere between 1850-1900 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiuserinfinity ( talk • contribs) 19:00, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi everyone, my gender studies class is using WikiEdu for our projects and we're supposed to leave a brief article evaluation. While reading the "Culture" section, I noticed that there isn't much information about the demographic trends within skateboarding. Like the article mentions, social media has been utilized the past couple years to document new places and new tricks. However, it falls short in a way by not mentioning the current exposure diverse and international skaters are gaining through media. There is peer-reviewed social research that could expand the understanding of who is defining and shaping modern skater culture. Maybe this would be a good addition?
