2007 marked the wheels in motion for Skateboards, a news platform dedicated to the pulse of the skateboarding world. Born from a passion for the sport and a noticeable gap in comprehensive, reliable, and engaging skateboarding content online, Skateboards set out to be the go-to source for all things related to skateboards—from decks and trucks to tricks and culture.
Our journey began as a small blog, with a vision to fill the void of unbiased, accurate information in the skateboarding community. Over the years, we’ve evolved into a robust news website, celebrated for our in-depth analysis, expert reviews, and coverage of both professional competitions and grassroots skate scenes across the globe. Our milestones include interviews with legendary skaters, exclusive product launches, and comprehensive historical retrospectives that have captivated and educated our audience.
Skateboards is committed to its core values: integrity, inclusivity, and innovation. We aim to serve as a beacon of information for skateboarders of all levels—from beginners learning the basics to seasoned pros seeking the latest technology and trends. Our mission is to keep our readers informed, inspired, and connected to the global skateboarding community.
In 2019, we recognized an information gap in the market, particularly concerning product safety, technical advancements, and skateboarding as a sport’s evolution. This realization led us to enhance our commitment to providing accurate, unbiased information to our audience. We achieve this through rigorous fact-checking, expert contributions from seasoned skaters and industry professionals, and a dedication to staying at the forefront of skateboarding news and developments.
Our target audience spans skateboarders of all ages and backgrounds. We serve them by delivering content that educates, informs, and entertains. Our readers can engage with us through comments, feedback forms, and interactive features like polls and community discussions. They are the pulse of our platform, and their voices shape our content.
