SKATEBOARDING IN THE 70'S: THE SOUL OF A REVOLUTIONWelcome to the roots of skateboarding! In this video, we dive deep into the 70s skateboarding revolution — an era when skating was all about soul. Before the modern tricks and tech, the sport was about pure expression, style, and technique. The 70s were the golden years when skateboarding history was written, transforming from a sidewalk pastime to a performance art that would eventually evolve into the Olympic sport we know today. In this video, we explore the early days of freestyle, the first skateparks, and the explosive rise of slalom, downhill, and speed skating. The introduction of urethane wheels changed everything, allowing skaters to go lower, faster, and freer than ever before. It was a time of minimalism, where how you looked doing it was just as important as the tricks you busted. The soulful dance on wheels was not only about getting technical; it was about being in the moment, connecting with the ride, and exploring new terrain—both physically and within yourself. Join us as we celebrate the skateboarding culture that paved the way for what would become a global movement. From barrel jumping to mastering high jumps, from bowls to carving out the first skateparks, we’ll cover the skateboarding legends and innovations that brought us here. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or just passionate about the history of skateboarding, this rootsy video is packed with rich history and untold stories. Skateboarding in the 70s was more than just a sport — it was about freedom, creativity, and an unstoppable urge to express yourself on wheels. 👉 Hit the like button if you're ready to ride with us through time and share your thoughts on how skateboarding has evolved!
