Originating in the late 1950s, Skateboarding exploded into popularity in the mid-70s in Southern California with the emergence of skating legends like Tony Alva and Stacey Peralta, who later went on to build an entire industry around their passion for the sport. Skateboarding has since grown from strength to strength, producing international talents like Tony Hawk, Chris Joslin, and Sky Brown.
The main variations of skateboarding include Freestyle, Transition (ramp), and Street skateboarding. Other styles include park and downhill skateboarding, as well as cruising. From its early beginnings as a hobby and recreational sport, Skateboarding has grown and spread across the globe and has now made its debut in the 2019 SEA Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
