I've been skating boarding now for 25 years and love it. Do you skate? 
I did for a bit when I was in middle school. It's cool how it will be in the 2020 Olympics.\
I didn't know that. I wonder if it will be street skating or half pipe? 
Hopefully both, that would be interesting. Many of the tricks are so cool it could even be called art in my opinion.
I agree. I wonder when it first started?
Not sure, but the first skateboards were wooden boards with roller skate wheels attached!
They have not changed that much. 
That's true. Although an early type of skateboard had a crate attached to the nose which served as handlebars.
