A 2002 survey and study by American Sports Data found there are 18.5 million skaters in the world. 85 percent of skateboarders polled who had used a board in the previous year were under the age of 18, and 74 % were male. Those numbers have since doubled. In the ensuing years the locations of skate parks tripled making it more accessible as privately owned parks and indoor parks are becoming a reality.
