History
• 1950’s: During this time no one knows exactly when or
where but Skateboarding was invented. Many claim to
have invented it but all we know is that it was an
offshoot of surfing for when their were no waves.
• 1960s: Skateboarding started to grow in popularity
with the sport becoming popular with non surfers.
Skating started to grow from pool skating into downhill
slalom and freestyle.
• Around 1965 Skateboarding took a dive in popularity
and many brands died out. Causing many
skateboarders to make their own equiptment.
• 1975 The Ocean Festival held in Del Mar, California was a traditional
freestyle and slalom contest, but a new Skateboard team Zephyr arrived
and blew the contest away with a new agressive, innovative style of
skateboarding. This event catapulted skateboarding into the public eye.
• After the invention of the Ollie (vertical jump with a skateboard) by Alan
Gelfrand Skateboarding took another dive in popularity with many saying
it was just a fad.
• 1980- Skaters continue to skate, but in a more underground way. Small
privately owned skateboard companies, owned by skaters were created.
These small companies encourage creativity in designs. Skateboarding
evolves into an even more personal style of expression.
• 1984 two men named Stacey Peralta an George Powell create the first
ever skate video named “the bones brigade” Skate videos become the
new medium, a way to feel apart of something bigger and ultimately form
a more unified Skate culture.
• In the 1990’s there was another dive in popularity but mostly
affected ramp skateboarders as a new stream of Street
skateboarding was growing with the punk movement.
• In 1994 the World cup skateboarding is created which oversees a
points based system in which performance in one competition can
be compared to a different competition.
• A year later the first X games is held with a strong focus on
Skateboarding, This shoots skateboarding into the mainstream with
X games doing deals with ESPN and Fox. Skateboarding’s new
classification as an “extreme sport” due to the winter x games in
1997 had mixed reaction varying from acceptance to a resentment
of Skate boarding’s slide into the main stream.
• Since then Skateboarding has progressively gotten larger with
Feature films and even a discussion on the viability of
Skateboarding becoming an Olympic sport.
• There are approximately 13,000
Skateboarders in the UK and rising
• 11.8 million Skateboarders in the world.
• This spring PPR, the parent company of Gucci
and Alexander Mcqueen, bought the
Californian skate company Volcom in a deal
worth $607m
• The Skateboard industry is worth 7.2 billion in the US alone.
• Not only is the figure surprising but that the Skate industry
is seemingly resilient to Global Economic crisis.
• Whilst it is not immune to downward pressure of sales
nationwide the resilience shows the Power of Skate brands
and the close connections to the consumers is almost an
economy of its own.
• You could say that Surfers and skaters view the industry as
a lifestyle, not a passing trend. Because of this, Loyalty to
brands and the industry is much stronger than other
markets like
• This gives me assurance that my documentary has potential
to have a large audience.
