During the mid-1990’s I frequently found myself rollerblading with friends on the Capital Crescent Trail in Washington, D.C., a mecca for bikers, joggers and, yes, in-line skaters — the colloquial term for people who rollerblade. Back in the day, the Capital Crescent Trail — which runs 10 miles from Silver Spring, Md., to Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood — was swarming with in-line skaters. As I remember it, the number of in-line skaters who zoomed across the trail far outnumbered bikers and joggers.

It is pretty strange when you think about it. How more than 80 million people love spending time riding a piece of wood with 4 wheels attached to it. Yet, there was a time where there weren’t this many skaters around. Since its creation, skateboard popularity went through many ups and downs. So how exactly, and why has skateboarding become so popular? First of all, it had to be said, skateboarding looks cool. It is also fairly cheap to pick up. Especially when you compare it with other extreme sports like BMX, Dirt biking, or Snowboarding. The recent popularity of skateboarding has to do with the pandemic. Skateboarding was already on the rise and spiked during the lockdown, the 2021 Olympics gave it another boost.
