The skateboard is such a simple piece of machinery, I’m surprised it wasn’t invented like 6000 years ago.

Do you think the first innovators of the sport imagined they would lead a gymnastic-like street style following or one day evolve into a classy less random and more planned and perfected activity that is intellectually stimulating and a risk calculated effort? Imagine who you would pick up and what could be possible when we drop the underground altogether? You don't need much to start and the direction would lead upwards until the eventual trip down the hill.
