You have it wrong, it was Calvin Marty Klein.

Before Avril, we called it rollerboarding. The boards were considerably larger and you would propel yourself along with a long pole, like a gondola. Only the wealthy could afford true rollerboards, however, we would make our own with scrap wood. I had one that was a modified old door that I had attached bicycle wheels to the sides of. That board would FLY down hills but you needed the whole neighborhood to pull the damn thing back up again.

Skateboarding is male dominated because women learn falling as you age isn’t fun faster than men.

Don’t tell that to the roller derby teams

Those are a special breed of women.
Bacano@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’ve never seen so many women at the skatepark. On quads, inline, and skateboards whatever. Ik its a shit post but I really like skating and I like how inclusive it tends to be these days.
Women on street league are doing tricks never been done before by women, always pushing the envelope. When I was growing up, my one skater friend was one of like 3 girls compromising the entire scene. Now you can catch 3 at the parks on any given day.

Except Avril Lavigne hasn’t been Avril Lavigne ever since the switch. If you’re going to spread lies, at least use a real person maybe?
peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 months ago
But everyone knows Avril Lavigne died in 2003, and Avril Lavigne did invent skateboarding in 2002. He’s not spreading lies, he’s exaggerating the truth.
The truth being, of course, there is no spoon.

On a non-shitpost note
I’m amazed how things turn out sometimes: > The creator of the blog that originated the Avril Está Morta conspiracy has apologized and changed the whole blog post to state that Avril has not died yet, and that the blog was a way of showing how conspiracy theories may seem true. I’m almost sure it was about the same way we got flat earth and sovereignty of citizens

The Skateboard was invented by “Gustav zu Skate” in 1965 in West-Berlin and was called “Lustigkeitsrollbrett” then shortened to Skatebrett and in English Skateboard 🥸

Growing up in the 60’s I had a skateboard called a monster with a picture of a monster on the top. It had metal skate wheels on it. My uncle said they used to make something like that in the 40’s by nailing a skate onto a board, though it sounded more like a scooter since they usually added a handle to the front.

Isn’t Avril Lavigne the singer who was replaced with a clone?

werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That was Michael Jackson but they made a mistake…he was African American and they forgot the African part with the clone… sorry Michael! I had to. I just had to!

Skateboarding was not a woman’s invention. Not sure who did but it predates 2002 by at least 30 decades because I had one as a kid in the 70s
Stez827@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
It’s sarcasm dude and 30 decades would be 300 years it’s not that old

Yeah well i mistyped. Supposed to be just 3

Wait skating is male dominated? I’m an old now, but that wasn’t the case in my town when I was a fellow kid.

Not many people scare anymore. Cars or walk. At my school of 1,500 there’s maybe 3 bikes.

Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, that’s how World War I got started.

True, Archduke did a sick run at the Sarajevo Skatepark, everyone cheered but the Serbs didn’t liked being owned like that. Thus WW 1 started.

Abe Lincoln famously warned us about how people make up shit on the Internet.

On the other hand you don’t want to dismiss everything you read on the Internet. That’s how World War II got started.
