Skateboarding; The Quintessential Boarding Sport

Yes it's skateboarding. The sport that has been revolutionized over the years since 1950ʻs when the first skateboard was manufactured from a mere four by two with roller skates attached to the bottom. So why is skateboarding the most quintessential boarding sport? Well first off its one of the most popular and well-known sport through out the world. Out of all the boarding sports it can be ridden at almost anytime and location. Surfing requires an ocean, good waves, and clear weather. All of these things are out of our control so surfing is not a guarantee activity everyday. Snowboarding requires well, snow! And since we live in a paradise snow is not an option. Skateboarding can be done on the street, garage, of the curb, anyplace where there is concrete, wood, or a hard surface. You can skate in the rain (although chances of injuries or a rusty board are increased) and since we humans spend most of out time on land instead of the ocean, then skateboarding dominates surfing since it can be done anywhere at anytime. Morning skating, noon skating, night skating, you could even skate in dirt (using a different kind of board and wheels). A misconception is that skating idolizes breaking the law when in actuality it tries to express freedom: freeing you of your troubles and focuses you on riding the board and releasing your troubled mind from the problems in the world around you.
Without snow or an ocean, this feeling of freedom can't be reached so with the skateboard it creates a bridge to that place of freedom. That's why skateboarding is the quintessential boarding sport.
