Skateboarding is an extreme sport, and people without adventurous spirit dare not try it.
Skateboarding is a cool street sport. Its characteristics are:
First, it is difficult and dangerous. Therefore, the skater's body should be resistant to exercise.
Second, foreign style, which is a very popular street sport abroad, is more foreign than skating, ghost dancing, ballroom dancing and square dancing, similar to street dance. In addition, it is closely related to fashion brands, and the clothes of skaters have a certain style.
Third, the niche, because of the niche, seems to have the value of onlookers, and the square dance has no audience now.
Where there are streets, there is street culture. Naturally, if there is skateboarding, there must be skateboarding culture.
Street culture contains many things, such as rap, graffiti, skateboarding and so on. After all, they all belong to the street.
Personally, street culture represents the love, truthfulness, freedom, no falsehood or exaggeration of life, the essence of life, and a group of street children enjoy the truth of life.
Skateboarding is probably more specific, such as the freedom to step on the street, the persistence of practice, the challenge of terrain, and the joy of being with friends in the street. It's a feeling that is hard to understand without skateboarding.
It is such a truth that a culture that permeates life is willing to indulge, poison and be happy.
In the skater's diary
Dan Liang's sentence: We have no skateboard, nothing.
As for why it feels like there is no street culture in China,
First of all, street culture in China is developing, which is less than that in the United States and Japan, but it is not without it.
I am a skateboarder, and I can know about skateboarding shops in most places, skateboarders around me, and other rap graffiti. Like most things, when you understand it, you will find a lot.
Of course, because China's traditional thought is conservative, it has been developing, and the restrictions are gradually decreasing (neither praising nor derogating, after all, China's 5,000-year-old culture contains many good things, which is worth inheriting and carrying forward).
Although in the eyes of a large part of ordinary people, street children are symbols of rebellion and idleness, fortunately, most of them are middle-aged, and now more young people know and like them. I believe street culture will develop well!
