So do you consider skateboarding recreational, art or a job?
Well, there are a select few that have made it a job like Tony Hawk - but mostly it's recreational.
My son goes on and on about Tony and Rodney Mullen, who was one of the first back in 1966.
I've never heard of the Rodney Mullen guy - I think I've only heard of Tony Hawk because of all the endorsements of products.
My kid is strange. He likes to look up the history of things he's into.
I think that's amazing!  I've got one daughter into horses and we have a ton of horse books - knowledge is power they say
The skateboarding market was worth almost 5 million 10 years ago. I wonder what it's worth now?
