Evolution of a Revolution
The sport of skateboarding has seen many changes over the years . From steel wheels to
urethane wheels, loose ball bearings to modern sealed bearings, flat pieces of
oak to laminated concaved kicked tail and kicked noses, wheelies to heel
flips, from the streets to skateparks, local contest to World Cup events,
skateboarding has stood the test of 40 years of change and is here to stay. Learning from the mistakes that the
skateboard industry made during the NSA years, former NSA President and
Directors Don + Danielle Bostick made a commitment to skaters in developing
and directing skateboard competitions around the globe.

Skateboards typically have a deck and four wheels with no handle.
