Skateboarding: Relevant, Exciting and Fun

Abstract

Abstract Skateboarding has become a common means of transportation and physical activity among adolescents and adults going to and from work or across college campuses, further highlighting why its implementation as a physical education unit makes sense. This article gives readers a more robust understanding of skateboarding, why it could be advantageous to include in physical education curricula, the general cost of equipment, and an example eight-day skateboarding unit. The aim is to encourage more educators to consider including it in their physical education curriculum.
