Skateboarding - Olympic Dream India

Skateboarding

Skateboarding is an exhilarating action sport that involves riding and performing tricks on a skateboard. Beyond being a recreational activity, skateboarding has evolved into an art form, an entertainment industry, and a popular mode of transportation. The influence of numerous skateboarders over the years has shaped the culture and community surrounding this vibrant sport.

As of recent reports, the skateboarding market generates approximately $4.8 billion in annual revenue, with over 11 million active skateboarders worldwide. In a historic move, skateboarding made its Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, further solidifying its status as a global sport.

The Skateboarding Community

Since the 1970s, specialized skateparks have been constructed to provide safe and creative spaces for skateboarders, freestyle BMXers, aggressive skaters, and, more recently, scooter riders. These parks foster community engagement and skill development, allowing athletes to express their creativity and challenge their limits.

However, skateboarding has faced controversies, especially in areas where the activity is deemed illegal, leading to concerns about damage to public spaces such as curbs, benches, and parks.
