17.Although some surfers have been skateboarding for more than 50years,skateboarding did not peak until the 70s.In 1962,a surfer attached roller skate wheels to a board and began selling the skateboards to other surfers.The surfers used this new device to practice"surfing"while not in the water.They improved their balance and technique and had fun while practicing.In 1973,another California surfer designed a skateboard with plastic wheels.The new wheels were stronger and made less noise.At this time,real skateboards were designed and tricks and moves were developed by skateboard lovers.In many of the tricks,skateboarders seem to resist gravity for an instant but they actually use gravity to make their tricks work.
Skateboarding works best on paved areas such as parking lots.In the 70s and 80s,paved areas with a good downhill slope attracted a growing number of skateboarders.Due to complaints about noise and accidents involving skateboards and pedestrians,skateboarding was banned in many cities.Responding to the need for entertaining skateboarding,some communities built skateboard parks.In recent years,skateboarding has become more popular than ever before.
What is responsible for the fame of skateboarding?Gravity.Teens love to experiment with the forces of gravity.Any object with mass has gravity.Gravity gives us"weight".More significantly,gravity causes acceleration or in skateboarding terms,"speed"when moving downward from a hill or ramp(坡道).When skateboarders are standing at the top of a ramp or hill,their weight is transformed into kinetic(运动的)energy as the skateboarder takes off down the hill.Gravity accelerates the skateboarder downhill.Gravity is what keeps the skateboarder moving and it is also what keeps skateboarding swift and exciting.
