"Skateboarding is a poetry of motion." (Stevie Williams)

Skateboarding is a popular activity and most people love the cool tricks. Over the years, it even developed a lifestyle that is closely related to this activity.

The first official skateboard was released exactly 60 years ago, in 1959, and skateboarding has gone through a huge evolution in the last few decades. Its source is surfing, which is why skateboarders were often referred to as “asphalt surfers” at the beginning.

At first this activity became popular in the United States and with its popularity some American clothing brands specialised in skateboarding. One of the most famous skateboard shoe brand, called Vans, was founded in 1966, for example, and has since been supporting skateboarders from around the world.

In the mid-1970s skateboarding reached Germany and thus Europe. Skateboards have developed in shape and wheels to enable a smoother, faster and more comfortable ride and the popularity of skateboarding continues to grow.

Skateboarding is not just a hobby anymore, it has also become a professional sport and a job for many people. It will even be represented at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

But skateboarding is not only for riding and performing tricks, it is also a method of transportation.

An electric skateboard makes skateboarding easier and faster and it can be very helpful in a city besides other electrical things like a roller.
