Philosophy of skateboarding

Skateboarding has been a trend for almost three decades now. A trend? Well, to some it has been and still might be a trend. To others it is art - meditation - philosohy. As a skateboarder you see the city differently: You are always looking out for nice places to skate, you analyze the street surface, the surroundings. By this the skateboarder is a true urban being.
