Media studies skateboarding
Skateboarding started in the 1950s when surfers attached roller skate wheels to wooden boards. It grew in popularity and specialized skate shops opened to manufacture boards. Skateboard shapes evolved over time from early flat boards to modern curved designs. In the 1970s, roller skating peaked during the disco era before the introduction of inline skates. Prior to skateboards and roller skates, soap box derbies were a popular hobby in the early 20th century. The document predicts that streetboarding, which uses elements of snowboarding on a board while strapped in, will be the next trend to emerge from this lineage of transportation fads.

This document provides an overview of several extreme sports including motocross, mountain biking, skiing, skateboarding, and surfing. It discusses the history and origins of each sport, how competitions developed over time, and the culture surrounding each sport. Brief descriptions are given of the sports and activities involved in motocross, mountain biking, skiing, skateboarding and surfing. The document also provides references to additional sources for more information on the history and development of these extreme sports.
The evolution of the sports shoe
The sports shoe originated in the mid-19th century in the UK as the rubber-soled canvas sand shoe developed for beach use. Grooves were added to soles in the early 1900s to improve grip. Sports shoes were adopted by militaries and athletes, gaining popularity. By the mid-1900s, huge sports shoe companies emerged and trainers became a mainstream fashion staple beyond their athletic origins, establishing their enduring role in global culture.
Skateboarding
Skateboarding originated in the 1950s when surfers started riding boards on land. In the 1960s, skateboards became mass produced and popular, but concerns about safety led to a decline. Innovations like the kicktail in the 1970s increased control and helped skateboarding's popularity grow. The 1980s saw the development of ramps and pools for skating. Skateboarding continued to evolve and by the 1990s had become an official extreme sport, with professional skaters able to earn a living through competitions and sponsorships. Today there are skate parks in many cities and it is an internationally recognized sport.
Skateboard
Skateboarding involves riding and performing tricks on a skateboard. It originated in the 1940s-50s as surfers looked for something to do when waves were flat. Early skateboards were wooden boxes or boards with roller skate wheels. In the 1970s, new polyurethane wheels improved traction and performance, fueling skateboarding's popularity rise. By the 1990s, street skateboarding dominated as tricks focused on rails, stairs, and other urban terrain. Skateboarding continues to evolve and remains a popular recreational activity and sport for both youth and adults.

Roller skating involves traveling on surfaces using roller skates. It originated in the 1700s and grew in popularity in the early-mid 20th century. There are three main types of skates: quad roller skates, inline skates, and tri-skates. Inline skating became especially popular in the 1990s after improvements to inline skates. Ice skating and skateboarding are similar recreational activities that also involve gliding on surfaces but using ice skates or a board. Both have continued evolving in equipment and popularity since originating in the 18th-19th centuries.
The evolution of skateboarding
Skateboarding originated in the 1940s-1950s when people took planks of wood with roller skate wheels and tried to replicate surfing on land. Through the decades, skateboarding evolved significantly with changes to board design and the introduction of new materials like clay and polyurethane wheels. By the 2000s, the sport had become a major worldwide phenomenon practiced across all ages and genders, with the classic "paddle pop" shaped board becoming standardized. Over 70+ years, skateboarding transformed from a simple sidewalk activity into an established extreme sport through continual innovation and growing popularity.
Skateboard
The document discusses the history and evolution of skateboarding from its origins in the late 1950s to its growing popularity in the 1990s. It notes that skateboarding first became popular among teenagers in the 1950s and was known as "sidewalk surfing". Skateboarding shoes and movies emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as the sport grew in popularity. Skateparks were built during this time but some had to close due to injuries and rising insurance costs. The 1980s saw the rise of street skating and baggy clothes for skaters. The 1990s brought more popularity from the X Games and media coverage, which transitioned skateboarding into more of a spectator sport.
Roller skating
This document provides information about the sport of roller skating. It lists the necessary equipment which includes roller skates, a helmet, and pads. It provides instructions on how to roller skate, emphasizing safety such as skating in open spaces away from cars and wearing protective gear. It also gives details about famous roller skater Chad Herlick, noting he is from Texas, 41 years old, and has won 41 world titles.
Roller skates blades
Roller skates are shoes with four wheels in a rectangular configuration, like car wheels, allowing for stability and balance. They were popular in the 1970s and provided a full-body aerobic workout, burning significant calories per hour. James Plimpton's 1863 design improved on earlier skates by including two sets of parallel wheels under the foot and heel, enabling easier turning. Roller skating evolved into a competitive sport including roller hockey. Rollerblades/inline skates have three to five inline wheels for increased speed and a design meant to mimic ice skating, though with less stability than roller skates.
Bike
The bike was invented in the 18th century and has undergone many changes and improvements over time. The first appearance of the bike was in 1750 and resembled a "walking machine" with no pedals or handlebars. In 1817, the draisienne was created with a handlebar added. In the 1860s, pedals were added and placed on both the front and rear wheels. The bike continued to evolve throughout the late 1800s with improvements like chains, pneumatic tires, and frames made of metal instead of wood. The modern bicycle was established in 1885 with two same-sized wheels, chains, and other refinements that made it lighter and faster.
Extreme sports
Extreme sports involve high-risk activities like BMX, wingsuit flying, and others. Some key points:
- Extreme sports originated from earlier daredevil activities like bullfighting and mountaineering. The first organized extreme sport events took place in the 1970s.
- The X Games helped popularize many extreme sports and compile competitions in areas like BMX, skateboarding, and motocross. They began airing on ESPN in 1995.
- BMX involves performing tricks and stunts on small bicycles through courses that include jumps and obstacles. Popular BMX tricks include the bunny hop, fakie, manual, and no-hander.
- Wingsuit

Sailing Lightning Class
A graphic designer, carpenter, and the plant manager for Astroseal Products, John Sulzbach of Killingworth, CT, has taken a special interest in sailing Lightning class in his spare time. Before moving to Killingworth, CT, John Sulzbach attended The Landing School of Boat Building and Design from 1995 to 1996, where he received a degree in wooden boat building.
Bicycle
Baron von Drais invented the first steerable bicycle called the Draisienne in 1817 in Germany. It was made mostly of wood and propelled by pushing the feet on the ground since it had no pedals. In 1839, the MacMillan velocipede was invented in Scotland which was the first vehicle that allowed riding without the feet touching the ground. In 1860, Pierre Michaux invented the world's first mass produced riding machine, the Michaux Velocipede, after modifying a Draisienne for his customer. In 1869, the Reynolds Phantom was released in Britain which had an ordinary drive and other innovations like a lightweight metal frame and solid rubber tires.
History of skateboarding
Skateboarding originated in the late 1940s in California when surfers wanted something to do on flat days. Early skateboards were wooden boards with roller skate wheels attached. In the 1970s, urethane wheels were developed, improving traction and performance and leading to a rise in skateboarding's popularity. In the 1980s, the ollie trick was invented, allowing for aerial maneuvers on vert ramps and the growth of street skating as most could not access ramps. By the 1990s, street skateboarding had become the dominant style, using smaller hard wheels and boards suited for tricks on streets and other urban environments rather than ramps.
Skateboarding
Tony Hawk was the first to complete a 900, a 2.5 rotation trick in the air. Bob Burnquist set standards for future skaters by winning X Games medals and being the first to complete a 3/4 pipe jump. Rodney Mullen took skateboarding to new levels by inventing tricks like the darkslide and casper that no one had dreamed of before.
The history of bikes
The document traces the history of bikes from the early 1817 Draisienne, considered the first bicycle, through developments like the addition of pedals to create the Velocipede in 1861. It notes key innovations such as the Penny-farthing introduced in 1870, improvements in comfort and women beginning to ride, and the modern bike's multiple gears that allow for greater speed. The history shows how bikes evolved from their initial invention to the popular form of transportation and exercise they are today.

Why do we need Brands?
Consumers are overexposed to brand messages, which lead to a lack of trust or interest in them. So why do we need brands at all?
Remember that brands were not always about promotion and advertising. Brands stand for quality and origin. How is the product made? Where is it from? Who makes it?
But brands also play a big role in creating value. In this presentation, I try to explain how that can be done and why we still need brands.

My oral presentation
Joaco gave an oral presentation about the history of board sports. The first board sport was surfing, which was invented by Polynesians in Tahiti using wooden boards. Skateboarding later emerged as surfers took their sport to streets and empty pools. Snowboarding was then invented as surfers sought to recreate their sport on snow by attaching skis together. Joaco highlighted many variations of board sports that now exist worldwide and claimed to have invented a new type called "board remote control car".
Jesheil seares presentation
California was the birthplace of skateboarding culture as surfing waves were often too weak, so Californians created a surfboard with wheels. In the 1970s, Frank Nasworthy added polyurethane wheels to skateboards, improving the design. In the late 1970s, Norway banned the ownership, sale, and use of skateboards for over a decade in response to injuries from the growing popularity of the sport.

Sunglasses as we know and understand prevent our eyes from harmful radiation. What we do not know is that these were not invented for the purpose that we are using it now. Different people trace the history of sun glasses to different countries and all of these stories are interesting however the one most popularly agreed upon is that which is associated with that of the Chinese judges.
Soda fountain
The soda fountain was invented in 1819 by Samuel Fahnestock in order to quench the social demand for carbonated soft drinks. It allowed for the mass production and serving of carbonated mineral water and syrup mixtures on tap. Fahnestock invented the soda fountain after carbonated water was invented, taking him a couple tries to get it right. The soda fountain made it easier and cheaper for restaurants and fast food places to serve drinks to customers.
Hot air balloon
Hot air balloons are the oldest successful human-carrying flight technology, with two key parts - an envelope or bag and a gondola or basket. They require a source of heat, as heated air inside the envelope makes the balloon buoyant and able to rise to extreme altitudes. The Montgolfier brothers, Jacques-Etienne and Joseph-Michel, are credited with developing the first hot air balloon in the late 1700s in France. Their early demonstrations included launching a balloon filled with smoke and later carrying animals aloft. Balloons went on to be used for military observation during conflicts like the American Civil War.

The document provides a history of the rocking chair, beginning with references to rocking motion in paintings from the 16th century. It discusses how adding rockers to chairs evolved from cradles and rocking horses. The earliest known citation of the term "rocking chair" was in 1787.

History of skateboarding
Skateboarding involves riding and performing tricks on a skateboard. It originated in southern California in the late 1940s as surfers looked for something to do when waves were flat. Early skateboards were made from wooden boxes and roller skate wheels. In the 1970s, urethane wheels were developed, improving traction and performance and leading to a rise in skateboarding's popularity. New tricks were invented, including the ollie, and vert (vertical) skating grew in popularity. Through the 1980s, street skating became more popular as most people could not access vert ramps. Street skating led to the evolution of smaller, harder-wheeled boards designed for street use.

Bike`s Evolution
Baron Von Drais invented the first walking machine in 1817 that was propelled by pushing your feet against the ground. In 1865, the velocipede was introduced, popularly known as the bone shaker. The first machine called a bicycle with two wheels appeared in 1870. While high-wheeled bicycles were risky for men, ladies could ride adult tricycles due to their long skirts. In the 1880s, an Irish veterinarian named Dunlop applied pneumatic tires to bicycles, making them more comfortable and popular as cycling leagues formed.

Longboards range from 36 to 60 inches and have larger, softer wheels than trick boards, providing a smoother ride. They use softer bushings or springs instead of bushings to allow for easier carving. Longboards can be used for travel or transport and come in different shapes like cruisers or hybrid boards. Their trucks are designed for sharper turns. Pintail shapes are useful for lifting the front of the board when riding off curbs. Longboarding originated in Hawaii in the late 1950s as surfers sought to replicate the feeling of surfing on land, and grew as a sport in California in the 1970s.
Toy history
Moving toys have existed for thousands of years, with some of the earliest found dating back to 3000-1500 BC. These early toys were typically made from natural materials like rocks, grass, sticks, or clay and often took the form of animals. Pulling and pushing toys from ancient civilizations were commonly shaped like animals and made from materials like clay, wood, lead, and ivory. In the 19th century, rolling toys helped young children learn how to walk and stand on their own. Common examples of early moving toys included horse rocking toys, yo-yos, and duck-shaped rolling toys with hopping heads.
Research Paper
Skateboarding originated in the 1950s when California surfers wanted to move surfing to pavement. The first skateboards were made from wooden boxes with roller skate wheels. Skateboarding grew in popularity in the 1960s and professional skaters like Torger Johnson emerged. Skateboarding hit a decline in the early 1960s but regained popularity in the mid-1960s. Professional skaters like Tony Hawk, Shaun White, and Rob Dyrdek have helped evolve skateboarding into the sport it is today through competitions, sponsorships, and businesses. Skateboarding continues to be a popular extreme sport influenced by passionate skaters.

Skateboarding: California\'s Continuing Dominance of a Global Sport
Skateboarding originated in southern California in the mid-20th century and was likened to surfing on land. While it diffused globally, southern California, specifically the Los Angeles area, has remained the dominant center of the skateboarding subculture. The Zephyr surf team in Dogtown, LA pioneered the style and tricks of modern skateboarding in the 1970s. Their unconventional style and low, aggressive moves changed skateboarding forever and fueled its growing popularity worldwide. Despite periods of decline, southern California skateboarders and companies have continued to innovate the sport and shape its culture.

Skateboarding originated in the 1950s in California when surfers started riding wooden boards on the streets to mimic surfing. It grew in popularity in the 1960s and competitions emerged. Rodney Mullen was drawn to skateboarding because of the freedom of expression and lack of rules compared to other sports. When not being filmed, he experiments with new movements alone to improve his skills. The Melbourne Shuffle dance originated in the late 1980s from earlier dances in Australia and incorporated movements from breakdancing. Longboards are longer than typical skateboards and have larger, softer wheels, making them suitable for cruising and downhill riding due to easier carving. Their popularity increased in the 1990s as a board culture grew
wheel
The wheel was one of the most important inventions in human history. Evidence suggests wheels were independently invented around 3500-3350 BC in parts of Europe and Asia, with the earliest depictions showing up in ancient Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Over thousands of years, the wheel evolved from being used only on pottery to being applied to transportation with carts and chariots. Major innovations like spoked wheels in 2000 BC and iron rims in 1000 BC improved the wheel's design and function. Today the wheel remains a ubiquitous mechanical component found in vehicles, machines, and other applications.
Top watch facts
Watches have a long history, originally created by Egyptians in 1500 BC as sundials to track time using shadows. Over 3000 years later in 1500 AD, more accurate clocks were developed. In the 16th century, watches were very large and worn around the neck, but later became smaller and worn on the wrist. The first wristwatch was created by Louis Cartier in 1904 and was called the "Santos". NASA astronauts wore the Omega Speedmaster watch on their moon missions in the 1960s and 1970s. Black watches have become a popular unisex choice, and watch advertisements always display the time as 10:10 to mimic a smile.

Brief history of Australian Shoes
Indigenous Australians rarely wore shoes, while early European settlers brought shoes that were ill-suited for Australian conditions. Convict shoemakers established the footwear industry in Australia. While American imports dominated in the late 19th century, Australian manufacturers rebounded during the World Wars. Some iconic Australian shoe brands like RM Williams emerged, focusing on practical styles for rural lifestyles. However, most footwear production has now moved offshore, with local manufacturers producing around 12% of shoes purchased in Australia.
