    Skateboards started off as kids cutting up wood and nailing the wheels and trucks to it. The first skateboard manufactures were Hobie and Makaha who started recruiting team member when skate contests began coming up mostly on the west coast. It was considered sidewalk surfing because surfer would skate if the ocean was flat. Skateboarding flourished until the mid-60's when saftey testers considered skateboarding dangerous, encouraging shops not to sell them and customers not to sell them. Since shops didn't sell them anymore skateboarders had to take a piece of wood, cut it into a surfboard shape, and then put the trucks and wheels on. Bearing were little metal balls that would explode at any moment. The first wheels were metal that would have dents in it if you ran over rocks. Then concrete clay wheels came out which would crack or eject the rider. Then a surfer named Frank Nasworthy visited a friend in Kentucky who worked at a roller blade wheels factory. Frank put the wheels on his skateboard and spread it around the world. And thats my report.
