The History Of Skateboarding
From "The Concrete Wave"
Skateboarding has rich history of innovation and is full of intriguing
stories. Many of these stories are documented.
The first type of skateboards were scooter-like contraptions that date
back to the early 1900's. They featured roller skate wheels attached to a two
by four. Tens of thousands of rollerskates were dismantled and joyfully
hammered on to planks of wood.
In the 1950's modifications were made to the trucks and kids started to
maneuver more easily. Towards the late 1950's, surfing became increasingly
popular and people began to tie surfing together with cruising on a board.
By the time the 1960's rolled around, skateboarding had gained an
impressive following. However, when Larry Stevenson and his Makaha
company promoted the product, designs of professional boards peaked
performance, enabling higher function and execution of maneuvers.
A Brief History of
Skateboarding
Skateboarding was first started in the 1950s, when all across
California, surfers got the idea of trying to surf the streets. No one really
knows who made the first board because many people came up with the
idea at the same time. A few people have claimed to have invented the
skateboard first, but no one knows for sure who was first.

T IFF (Unc ompres s ed) dec ompres s or
are needed t o s ee thi s pi c ture.
The first skateboarders started with a wooden board that had roller
skate wheels slapped on the bottom.
Like you might imagine, a lot of people got hurt in skateboarding's
early years! It was a sport just being born and discovered, so anything
went.
Later on, the companies started making skateboards to sell. At that
time skateboarding was seen as something to do for fun after surfing.

Etna the Eternal
By Andrew Alden
But the first successful defense against a volcano was here in Catania,
the city of half a million at Etna's foot. In 1669, the Monti Rossi vent on Etna's
southern flank began pouring out a river of lava uphill from Catania. The
city's existing walls held back the flood for a week. But after part of the wall
gave way, the authorities built new walls in the city streets that were effective
against the lava's advance.
Another tactic tried in 1669 was to break open the roof and sides of the
lava tube feeding the flow. It was hoped that this would cool and freeze the
molten rock, as well as directing part of the flow elsewhere. The nearby town
of Paternò felt so threatened by this measure, it sent out an armed force to
stop the work crews

“Lava." Kids InfoBits
Gale, 2009
Lava is hot, melted rock that erupts, or explodes, from a volcano.
A volcano is a mountain that contains hot melted material from deep
inside the earth. Lava is a liquid when it comes out of the volcano. As it
cools, lava turns into rock.
Some lava is thin. Thin lava takes longer to cool and harden. Thin
lava can flow for many miles. It looks like a river of fire. This lava
hardens into smooth rock. This rock does not contain air bubbles.
Lava forms new rock on the side of a volcano. Thick lava usually
forms steep sides. The steep sides make the volcano look like a cone.
Thinner lava flows create broad, gently sloping sides. This makes the
volcano look like a warrior's shield.
