Skateboarding what’s that! We should recognize skateboarding because it’s a fun sport.Do you know about skateboarding?I think we have to know about skateboarding.It could be dangerous but its really fun and you might get injured once in a while but its an amazing sport. Well skateboarding is actually easy to know about. It’s easy to learn the basics of skateboarding. You can learn about the sizes, companies, professionals, and stance and how they are important to skateboarding and easy to learn about.

What! Skateboards have sizes! Sizes of skateboarding is important because it depends what you skate. You can skate any size for what you skate but if it isn’t the perfect size for that it would be a little challenging. For example if you skate big drops or skate vert you would need a big board size. If you would skate ledges and tricks on ledges but you need a better and faster flick you would need a smaller size board. Different skaters like different sizes in a board and different shapes depending on what they skate.


They have companies for skateboarding as well?! Companies Is where where they make skateboarding products. Without companies there wouldn’t be pros, pros amateurs, and flow. Without companies there wouldn’t be designs on boards. Companies are important because then there wouldn’t be sponsors for anyone and skateboarding would be very unpopular. Companies make the products so without companies there wouldn’t be different types of products. There is shoe companies, clothing companies, and their is also skate shops where you can buy the skateboarding products.

Why are professionals are important? Professionals skateboarders are the people who start doing the skateboarding companies and thats how the products start. Professionals are important because without them skateboarding wouldn’t be popular. Other skaters wouldn’t look up at a skater or if there wasn’t any pros people wouldn’t start skateboarding. Professionals also make companies so that company would also have pro skaters in it, so professionals are important because they make companies. Pro skateboarders make their own products for their company so other skaters can buy their product.


The stance is where a skater begins and finds out how they would push to begin skateboarding. The stance is important because it helps people find out their tricks. Stance is like how you push on a skateboard. There are two stances, goofy, and regular. You can also push switch like for example if you pushed goofy and then you turned and push regular you would be pushing switch. Regular is when you have your left foot at the nose of the board and your right foot pushing the board. Goofy is when you have your right foot on the nose and your left foot pushing. There is also some people that push mongo which is when you push with your foot on the nose.

Now you know some facts about skateboarding and we should recognize skateboarding. You also know about how size, professionals, stance, and companies are important. Other people claim that we shouldn’t recognize skateboarding. Some people might think its a dumb sport that they randomly put some wheels on a piece of wood and possibly think it could be the next big thing in the world. They might think its too dangerous and that they might break something but, no its a very easy thing to learn to do.
