Tag: Hardtner

Hardtner is a city in Barber County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 172.
By 1908 the townspeople had realized that they would need a railroad line to the outside world in order to survive. The town’s founder Jacob Achenbach, helped set up a company to build a line east to Kiowa. The line would have to cross the Santa Fe’s tracks to link with the Missouri Pacific, the planned connection for Hardtner’s line. The Santa Fe’s Superintendent was not about to stand for that, so he had his private car block the spot where the lines would cross. A local got word to him that the Hardtner people had about 45 cowboys ready to “riddle his car with bullets” The Superintendent moved his car, and the line was completed.
On June 2, 1929, a tornado struck Hardtner, causing minor damage. The tornado was notable since it moved very slowly, yielding some of the highest quality photographs of a tornado to that date.
Hardtner is also known for its yearly Independence…

Discover Skateboarding in a Week-Long Lesson

Skateboarding is a pastime activity, an art form, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the ages. A 2002 report by American Sports Data discovered that there are 18.5 million skaters in the world. 85 percent of skaters polled had used a board in the previous year were under the age of 18, and 74 % were male. Those numbers have have doubled since the time of the study. In the coming years the physical locations of skate parks tripled making skateboarding more accessible as publicly and privately owned skate parks and indoor skate parks are coming into the picture.

The biggest change has been the generation that skated in their youth and have grown up with the “X” Games explosion into the worldwide mainstream of competitive sports and sees it as a natural participation activity for their children led by X-Games Athletes who are affiliated and instruct for our brand and web site.
