My Experience with SkateBoarding


Introduction

Skateboarding has always been more than a sport to me. It’s pure freedom, creativity, and sometimes even therapy. I started skating recently, and since then it has become one of my biggest passions.

History of SkateBoarding

Skateboarding began in the 1950s in California when surfers wanted to practice on land. It has since grown into a worldwide sport, influencing fashion, music, and youth culture.
