About Skateboarding in Australia
Skateboarding is a creative, expressive sport combining tricks, street skating, and vert skating. Now an Olympic sport, it appeals to participants of all ages and skill levels and has a uniquely strong subculture built around creativity and community.
Getting Started
Starting with a quality complete skateboard and a helmet and pads makes learning fundamental skills like pushing, turning, and ollieing much safer. Public skate parks in most Australian cities and towns provide free, purpose-built environments to develop skills.
