Skateboarding began in California in the 1950s. The first skateboard was made of roller skates (connected to the board). Skateboarding is popular for surfing, in fact skateboarding was originally called "sidewalk surfing". Originally, skateboards were handmade from wooden boxes and boards. As sports became more popular, the company began making skateboards. Boards are constantly evolving as companies try to make them lighter, stronger, and improve their performance.
Along with the beginning of sidewalk surfing (the beginning of skateboarding), some surf makers like Makaha began making skateboards similar to small surfboards. The popularity of skateboard in this era has created a nationwide magazine, a skateboarder magazine. In 1965, nationwide TVs broadcast international championships. Looking at Makaha's sales data, the growth of sports in the 1960s was also obvious, and Makaha reported a $ 10 million board sales between 1963 and 1965 (Weyland, 2002: 28). However, sales in the second year declined sharply, and in 1966 I ceased issuing "Skateboard Magazine". Until the early 1970s, the popularity declined and remained low.
In the mid - 1970 's, the skateboard arrived in Germany. American soldiers have brought this trend and by 1976 Munich became the first skateboard center in Germany. At the Neuprelach in Munich, the first skate park was built, followed by the first skateboard magazine, and in 1978 the first German skateboarding championship was held in Munich. "Slasher Magazine" was founded in 1981 and since then it has symbolized the slogan "skate and destruction" of the street skateboard, core scene, punk rock and lifestyle. In 1983, another famous magazine, "Transworld Skateboarding Magazine" was founded. Next to these magazines, several smaller magazines were created, and more skate shops opened. For this reason, the popularity of skateboarding continues to rise. New skills and worldwide spread of invisible skateboard movement will allow the first skateboard video of VHS. Cameras are becoming increasingly important to the scene
