''Skateboarding''
Today I will be comparing the skateboarding in the 70's and in the modern days.

First I will talk about tricks in the 70's and in the modern days. In the 70's there were tricks like click-clack, coffin, royal Christie, handstand, wheelie 360, and strut-tin stuff. In the modern day the tricks were skitching cars, pop-shovit, kickflip,360 flip, flip tricks, kick -turns, tic-tac, ramps, manual, grind, and S.K.A.T.E.

Second I will talk about competition in the 70's and in the modern days. In the 70's the only competitions were freestyle and skating over the coke cans without knocking them down. Now in the modern days there are more competitions like tricks, ramps, and jumping over railings.

And finally I will talk about the gear in the 70's and in the modern days. In the 70's mostly nobody wore gear or pads on them. And the skateboards were really small and were made of wood or fibreglass. In the modern days the people wear lots of gear and the skateboards from the bottom are full of graphics and textures.

So that's all about the history of skateboarding.
