Skateboard
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
A skateboard is a board with four wheels attached to it. It used to go skateboarding. The first skateboarders used a piece of wood with rollerskates attached to it. This became popular and by 1960 skateboards were made in production. As more skateboards were made more people liked the new sport. But it was dangerous and people started to fall off, hurting themselves and so skateboard parks closed down. With less places to skate, skateboarders had no where to go. But a small group of skateboarders carried on skateboarding and after 20 years the sport began to grow into what we know now. Today, some older skateboarders reject the commercialization of the sport, but younger skateboarders still enjoy and appreciate skateboarding.
