Skateboarding Facts You Probably Didn't Know
Спорт
Rainy days = Skateboarding info drops since I can't get out and skate. I did some research into some skateboarding lore and trivia and pulled out a few that I thought were pretty interesting. For those who are interested in the history of why and how skateboarding is what it is today, this one is for you! :)
Again, I probably messed up some information so if you have a correction, feel free to let me know in the comments!
As always, thank you for watching and I will see you next time! :)

Shame the military skateboard never took off. Think how much bloodshed could've been avoided by a good old game of S.K.A.T.E.

That’s not entirely true 😅 the style 44 (now known as Authentic) was meant as a deck shoe, but was adopted by skaters early on that then influenced Vans to create the style 46 or simply the Era. Vans was never a work shoe company. And they also wasn’t almost bankrupt before marketed towards skaters. They almost went bankrupt in the 80s long after marketed their shoes for skaters. It was because they expanded too quickly and couldn’t keep up sales and profits while keeping production on US soil.

That zoom in on the freaked out cat cracked me up! As far as the helmet thing goes, Tony Hawk said once, "people don't wear helmets because they don't look cool, but how cool do you look with your brains falling out of your head?". I suck at skating and fall all the time, have bounced my helmet off the ground, coping, wall... a few times.

Most of the skateboarding injuries u see are twisted feet, and scratched skin, maybe some concussion. other than that, injuries are pretty rare. The only injuries I've had are exactly those two. I twisted my left foot, and gotten a lot of burns/scratches.

Sir you are very motivating and to all beginners out here, dont be afraid of starting to skate! Also skaters with more experience will gladly help you with learning new thing either a ollie or a 360 dolphin flip :P. Thank you Vlskate for all those beautifull years and awesome memories

Did you say skateboarding is safer than hiking? I think the study didn't account for hikers dying from being lost which doesn't necessarily apply.

It most definitely applies. Why would it not. It's a very real risk of hiking. People go off trail all the time. Bad things can happen. Especially in states like mine with cougars, coyotes, snakes, ect. Saying it doesn't apply is asinine
