A skateboard is a simple object. It’s comprised of a deck to stand on, wheels, and trucks (axles).
Despite its fundamental simplicity, skateboarding is quite expansive. It’s in counter-culture/culture
and in high/low society. it gives space to those who want it.
Skateboarding is often playfully irreverant and casual. it doesn’t have to be taken seriously,
especially because all it requires is those prior three ingredients.
