SKB (Skateboarding)

 SKB, or Skateboarding,  has various disciplines like Street, Vert, Pools and the Mega Ramp. What started out as sidewalk surfing in the 70’s with the forefather skateboard groups like the DogTown and Z-Boys, The Daggers, The Alva Team and the list goes on, has now become one of the largest alternative sports in the world with over 50 million skate-boarders worldwide. Skateboarding has been innovating and reinventing itself for over 50 years now and still thrives  today in the streets, backyards and stadiums around the world.

   Pro Rider Greg Lutzka to the left shows his backside kickflip 180 skills down a set of 7 stairs. You can check out the “Real Deal” Pro Riders SKB Street team and see Riders like Austen Seaholm, Carlos De Andrade, Chad Fernandez, Fabrizio Santos, Kareem Campbell, Kurtis Colamonico, Rodolfo Ramos and other PRO Skateboarders  here at the PRO website.

From the streets to the empty backyard swimming pools, Skateboarding evolved onto the transitions in the 70’s when the godfather Tony Alva did the first frontside air at the Dog Bowl. From that moment on, it soon evolved into a half pipe built out of wood or steel and became known as Vert Skateboarding.

   Pro Rider Rune Glifberg from Copenhagen, Denmark is a Vert veteran that has a very versatile smooth style on any skating terrain. Street, Vert, Bowls, you name it, Rune can ride it. Be sure to check out some of the other Pro Rider Bowl skaters like Omar Hassan, Brian Patch, Sergie Ventura, Dave Duncan, Juergen Horrwarth, Sandro Dias, and  Aaron Astorga right here at the PRO website.

Vert Skateboarding is one of the most difficult and breath taking sports around. With pioneers like Tony Alva, Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Jeff Phillips, John Gibson, Bryan Pennington, Danny Way and the list goes, Vert skateboarding tricks continue to evolve like magic.
