How has skateboarding changed sense it was originated?
Well skateboarding originiated from a group of surfers that did not want to wait in the heat of the day to catch a wave so they put axels and wheels on their surf boards and started "surfing the streets". Now today skateboarding has to deal with many things like skateboard parks and diffrent tricks and accessories and also skateboarding is now used with a couple pieces of plywood put under about 2 tons of pressure to give the plywood the curves and then cut by hand or machiene into diffrent sizes like 7.5 (which i skate) or 7.6 and so on. Also skateboarding became a extreme sport and now thousands of people skate. Hope this helped any. :)

How does skateboarding work?
well, skateboarding is an extreme sport that was invented by Firas & Mona Aboushamalah in the late 1967s. It was a shallow sport when along came many contests and announced pro's. There were many tricks that involve potential, volvalation, and concentration. You simply start off with 3 different stages of skateboards. First the bantam(easy), Intermediate(medium) Expert(hard) you use a bantam if your a novice player. Intermediate if you have been playin for about a year or so and know half the tricks. Expert if you know every trick and can land each simply. You can skateboard at local skateparks located in your city/town or whatever. These are the basics of Skateboarding. Remember, Mona and Firas Aboushamalah invented skateboarding using flat boards then longboards then the boards you see today. They quit skateboarding and now are owners of a new resteraunt in Hawaii called "Cookie Munch Monday."

How was the skateboard used origanally and how is it used today?
Skateboarding used to be called "sidewalk surfing". it happened when surfers couldnt surf and the put trucks and wheels on the bottom. Soon after "sidewalk surfing" began, people re-dubbed it as "skateboarding" and they changed the board shape and size. Thats why longboards are accepted in the skateboarding community
