Skateboarding
Today I will be talking about skating in the modern day and the 70's. First I will talk about gear. In the 70's people had homemade boards but the lucky rich kids had fibreglass boards from the store. Now we have pads and helmets. People also get boards from big companies like mite gorilla and red rhino.


Competition also changed during the years from the 70's to 2009. The slalom we don't do that anymore but now we have S.K.A.T.E. We still have street style it's fun. We also have click-clack they did too but it was called tick tack.



Tricks have changed. People are a little bit more dangerous and stupid. They had a 360, now we have 360 kick flip. Moves have changed lots. We took their moves to the extreme. But It was good. In conclusion I think now is better then.
