Skateboarding is a leisure activity, an art form, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years.

Those numbers have doubled since then. In the ensuing years the actual locations of skate parks tripled making it more accessible as privately owned parks and indoor parks are coming into the picture.
