Old School Skateboards, A Brief History

!9# Old School Skateboards, A Brief History

Skateboarding started around 1955 as a kids' past time, just another trendy popular toy for youngsters. Little did the world know how this newly popular past time would grow into the global industry and competitive sport it is today!

This 'toy' began in the 50's, became more trendy in the 60's, but lost popularity after only a couple of years. Then in 1971-2, it started coming back as a popular past time again, but this time was now thought of as an anti-social, anti-mainstream past time of kids with no goals and nothing else to do. Boards were not being manufactured as they had been in the mid-sixties, so in order to skateboard, you had to make your own. This new trend was the beginning of a 'revolution' in the industry that lead to the development of what are now called old school skateboards.

The founders of old school skateboards began their unique 'movement' surfing in the West L.A., South Santa Monica, Venice areas (called Dogtown) at an old abandoned, run down amusement park called Pacific Ocean Park Pier (known to locals as P.O.P.) which flourished in the twenties, ending in the late sixties. Kids from basically broken homes who lived in this Dogtown neighborhood formed a surfing team known as the Zephyr team, and were known as the Z-Boys. Here at the P.O.P they would surf waves in the middle of this abandoned park where there were broken pilings from the old pier, jutting out of the water in a 'U' shape just off the beach. This area formed a sort of cove, and the locals called it 'The Cove.' The Z-Boys were surfers who, when there were no waves, used old school skateboards to skate around town, creating their own 'cement playground.' They actually performed amongst themselves, just by doing their own thing on their own boards. They were not thinking that they were performing for anyone or for any reason but for their competition. This was not a trend, but their way of life - they lived this lifestyle; it was their way of having fun with the purpose of proving themselves to one another. They were like family to each other, surfing and skating together. They all had their own individual style - inspired by surfing, and put to the test on these unique old school skateboards.

The Z-Boys were a cultural phenomenon, inspiring and influencing today's extreme skaters. In their day, they shredded the competition with an aggressive, in-your-face style that revolutionized skateboarding. Back in the day, during the California drought, most all public and private swimming pools were being emptied. This provided a 'cement playground' for skaters and was another method that boosted the birth of extreme skating. It once more pushed the creative genius and classic individual style of icons Jay Adams, Tony Alva, and Stacy Peralta. These skaters created history from doing their self-driven personal best for no other reason that just that!

Old school skateboards represent a unique 70's style with a wider board deck creating more balance and stability than the feeling of the boards today.

Skateboarding Helmets - Safety Equipment

!9# Skateboarding Helmets - Safety Equipment

Whether you are an experienced skater or out for a joy ride, safety is a concern that should not be taken lightly while skateboarding. Shopping for protective skateboarding equipment can be a difficult experience if you are not sure what to look for. It is important to be aware of the safety information that can save your life in case of an accident.

Safety Information

Head injuries are the most dangerous injuries that can occur while skateboarding. It is very important to be sure that you are wearing a proper helmet for the activity you are partaking in. In some states it is a law to wear a helmet while skateboarding, so check state laws before beginning your ride. It is important to note that you should get a skateboarding specific helmet instead of the average bicycle helmet.

What to Look for in a Skateboarding Helmet

An important thing to look for when looking for a good skateboarding helmet is the material that is used. In a helmet there is a piece of foam that covers the inside of the helmet. You will want to make sure that this foam is Expanded PolyPropylene, otherwise known as EPP. This is a durable type of foam and will recover if you take a hit, unlike a bicycle helmet. It is also important to look and see if the helmet is the proper fit for your head and that it is adjusted properly. Many people are injured because they have not fitted their helmet properly.

Skateboard helmets need to meet a proper safety rating before they are deemed acceptable for the road. These are not necessarily required by law, but the ratings are most certainly important for your safety while riding. Look inside the helmet for a CPSC sticker or one that says ASTM. These ensure that the helmet is safe for your use while skateboarding.

Most Popular/Safest Helmets

Know what to look for is only the first half of the battle, actually finding the perfect helmet becomes the second half. There are a few brands that have become the premier skateboarding helmets and these tend to be the ones you should look for if you are in the market for a secure and safe helmet. The first brand which is probably the most popular is Pro-Tec. This brand has many helmets on the market and has a great safety rating. Pro-Tec even offers some helmets that may not need replacing after a crash, most helmets need to be replaced.

Another very popular brand is Technical Safety Gear, or TSG. This brand is similar to Pro-Tec, in the sense that is has a great safety rating and has a very cool look. You will be riding in style with this brand.

There are a few other brands that have been successful, although Pro-Tec and TSG are the two main brands in skateboarding helmets. Bern helmets and Triple 8 helmets may also be beneficial to try out before making your main decision. All of the above brands are also safe for children who may be skateboarding and they have smaller sizes so that your children can ride safely around the neighborhood.

Skateboarding is a fun activity for anyone to enjoy if the proper safety steps are followed. Research your safety equipment before making a purchase and before long you will be skating safely and having a blast.
