Styles of skateboarding


Styles of skateboarding



The original style is freestyle skating. This is where you do tricks on flatground , usually not moving and not popping.

Vert skating became popular after this and so did street skating.

Since then, Vert skating has died out and is not popular any more. Street skating has progressed and is more popular than ever.
