Free Skateparks and Social Responsibility
City governments across the country are realizing that in order to successfully contribute to society at large, they must provide recreational resources suitable not only for the community, but also for visiting skaters and their families. The best skateparks are areas whose designs mimic the elements that skateboarders find in backyard pools and on city streets.

Skateboarding for Beginners
Over the last couple of weeks I've been trying to do at least an hour of skateboarding after work each day. The road outside is smooth and flat, very good for practicing flatland stuff. The kid two doors down from me, Jake, joins in sometimes too, and as he's about the same level we get on well and push each other to do better.

If you have been skating for awhile you have already found out that it really comes down to personal prefrence. But you have to start somehwere and why waste money.
Skate Bored?
Though skateboards were around in the early 50's and 60's and actually very widely used back then they weren't well made and so eventually died out. The early ones were basically just milk crates with roller skate wheels and maybe a handle. More like a scooter. The wheels were the big problem, being mostly of clay, and resulted in lots of accidents from slipping or breaking and causing a fall. Even with better boards the wheels still created difficulty, and the sport pretty well died out in the mid-60's.
