The First kinds of skateboards were actually more like scooters. These contraptions featured roller skate wheels attached to a two by four. Often the wood had a milk crate nailed to it with handles sticking out for control. Over the next five decades kids changed the look of the scooter and took off the crate and started cruising on two by fours with steel wheels. Tens of thousands of rollerskates were dismanteled and joyfully hammered onto planks of wood.
