The History Of Skateboarding From "The Concrete Wave" Skateboarding has rich history of innovation and is full of intriguing stories. Many of these stories are documented. The first type of skateboards were scooter-like contraptions that date back to the early 1900's. They featured roller skate wheels attached to a two by four. Tens of thousands of rollerskates were dismantled and joyfully hammered on to planks of wood. In the 1950's modifications were made to the trucks and kids started to maneuver more easily. Towards the late 1950's, surfing became increasingly popular and people began to tie surfing together with cruising on a board. By the time the 1960's rolled around, skateboarding had gained an impressive following. However, when Larry Stevenson and his Makaha company promoted the product, designs of professional boards peaked performance, enabling higher function and execution of maneuvers.

A Brief History of Skateboarding Skateboarding was first started in the 1950s, when all across California, surfers got the idea of trying to surf the streets. No one really knows who made the first board because many people came up with the idea at the same time. A few people have claimed to have invented the skateboard first, but no one knows for sure who was first. The first skateboarders started with a wooden board that had roller skate wheels slapped on the bottom. Like you might imagine, a lot of people got hurt in skateboarding's early years! It was a sport just being born and discovered, so anything went. Later on, the companies started making skateboards to sell. At that time skateboarding was seen as something to do for fun after surfing.

Etna the Eternal By Andrew Alden But the first successful defense against a volcano was here in Catania, the city of half a million at Etna's foot. In 1669, the Monti Rossi vent on Etna's southern flank began pouring out a river of lava uphill from Catania. The city's existing walls held back the flood for a week. But after part of the wall gave way, the authorities built new walls in the city streets that were effective against the lava's advance. Another tactic tried in 1669 was to break open the roof and sides of the lava tube feeding the flow. It was hoped that this would cool and freeze the molten rock, as well as directing part of the flow elsewhere. The nearby town of Paternò felt so threatened by this measure, it sent out an armed force to stop the work crews

“Lava." Kids InfoBits Gale, 2009 Lava is hot, melted rock that erupts, or explodes, from a volcano. A volcano is a mountain that contains hot melted material from deep inside the earth. Lava is a liquid when it comes out of the volcano. As it cools, lava turns into rock. Some lava is thin. Thin lava takes longer to cool and harden. Thin lava can flow for many miles. It looks like a river of fire. This lava hardens into smooth rock. This rock does not contain air bubbles. Lava forms new rock on the side of a volcano. Thick lava usually forms steep sides. The steep sides make the volcano look like a cone. Thinner lava flows create broad, gently sloping sides. This makes the volcano look like a warrior's shield.
