 Skateboarding was first started sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s. However no one really knows who started to skateboard or made the first board for the first time because all across California surfers came up with this idea of surfing on the street at the same time. Several people have claimed that they were the one who invented the skateboard but nothing has been proved in evidence so skateboarding has been remained as a mystery but as a spontaneous creation. The first skateboard was just a wooden boxes or boards with roller skate wheels attached on the bottom of the boxes or boards. Many people got hurt while they were skateboarding in early years because the skateboard’s decks were not strong enough to resist the human weight and the wheels were not smooth enough because the wheel’s quality was not as advanced as now, back in the time. The boxes evolved into planks and eventually desks were developed which is similar to the skateboard desks of today. During this time, skateboarding was just something fun to do when the surf was not high enough and was often called “sidewalk surfing”.
