I've been watching documentaries about skateboarding. It's still wild to me that, as similar as skating and skateboarding are... their differences are vast! Rollerblading may have a few landmark films; but the amount of films on skateboarding blow me away! I figured I could catch up on some history, anyways...
The one thing I can honestly say is; wow! Not only was it an incredible start-up; but, you can see genuine progression from generation to generation. With-in 10 years, the sport had a revolution! It evolved to something that the beginners could have never imagined. Tricks. Styles. Hell, even SKATEPARKS started with skateboarding. They failed. Tried again. Got it right. Got it better. And then, continued raise the bar!!
Now, you can literally pick from hundreds of thousands of talented teens; all equally progressive in the sport. Pushing the boundaries. Redefining the limits! And these kids are 12-16 years old!!! And they are the definition of a "professional athlete;"
It makes me wonder how the sport will progress in 5 or 10 years!!!
