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 🥸
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.
there should be a /c/shittybackinmyday
Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, that’s how World War I got started.
That reminds me of my favorite quote from the author of Eat, Pray, Love:
And yet, it’s good advice.
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.
Akshually, skateboarding was invented by a certain Marty McFly in 1955.
I remember seeing historical record film about this that was recorded on an magnetic tape medium.
Betamax?

Maybe betacam?
His name was actually Calvin Klein.
You have it wrong, it was Calvin Marty Klein.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
Those are a special breed of women.
I watched a French series a while ago. I think it was called Derby Girls. I ended up watching the 3 seasons 3 times in a row.
It’s complicated…
It was invented in 1955 by Calvin Klein
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.

As seen in the documentary Back to the Future
I do hate this stuff because there are so many things that just don’t know things and get their information from searches that then might then use this.
There is more that meets the eye,
Can I make it more obvious?
This is how the story ends…
Around 52 percent of Americans will fall for this.
this is what I said about the Linux memes about Linux being hard to use, people were upset I said that because of the “can’t take a joke” angle
but I seriously believe that those memes do more harm than good
thing is im such a hypocrite because I was super sarcastic and I can totally see why folks do this stuff for fun but man I never realized how it would end up influencing little cults when the internet grew up.
it’s more of a “know your audience” thing for me
I can make all sorts of stupidly sarcastic jokes with my friends but when it comes to the internet there’s probably thousands of idiots who read content and take it as face value and as genuine
Isn’t Avril Lavigne the singer who was replaced with a clone?
/s
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!
Wrong dunk my dude
7 out of 572 doctors disagree.
Well it wasn’t good enough for her.
She literally said “see ya later, boys.”
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 (mainly car). At my school of 1,500 there’s maybe 3 bikes.
Nobody rides anything to go anywhere it’s just for fun now around the neighborhood.
I thought she was the inventor of too much eye make-up.
