Skaters

The skaters are people that are about between 13 and 25. This new group emerged in the mid-'90s, naming it as an urban sport. This urban sport has had a huge popularity and is linked to a stream of life, whose clothes, attitude and musical tasted are well defined. They do not consider themselves as graffiti, gangs or rebels without a cause. They defined themselves as skaters. The first reason to do with the fact that the skaters in the United States and specifically in California started playing and listening to skapunk.


We can say that this sport, although performed on the asphalt , was born in the sea. This new style of life, as many of its practitioners called, changed the wheeles for waves on the sea on the asphalt.


The sport began in the summer of 1962, in California a day without waves, when some young surfers started to do the activity for fun, that's when the idea came fantastic, putting the wheels on their surfboards.
The skaters usually wear long pants to prevent scratches to fall of the skate, but also wear shorts(below knee). Both trousers are wide for better mobility in the skate. Their shirts are similar to the B-boys, and they often carry the name of their favourite bands, they usually wear black clothes. Quicksilver brand and not fear are widely by skaters. The shoes are identical to the B-boys, flat- soled bambas undone.

The skate is synonymous with Punk and Ska. The punk music of rebellion chaos, social disorder and a similar to skate because both are not accepted as music or punk or skate as a sport(not a sport is a way of life). The overall objective of this music is to give a message and you put yourself your own rules, note anyone else you care. Also, skaters, listen to other music like hip hop and now the tribe is now a more adopting a new music style called Nu-Metal.
