![]() We asked 20 questions to 100 skateboarders, ages 8 to 58, and found that skateboarding is as diverse as the skateboarders that are addicted to it, no one controls skateboarding except skateboarders, and the State of Skate is savage and strong. As the landscape of the skateboarding industry changes on a daily basis, and the topic of skateboarding in the Olympics rears its head once again, along with the disturbing subject of who controls skateboarding being tossed about by corporate entities, we decided it was time to take a good look at the State of Skate. At the same time, the current generation of skateboarders is taking skateboarding to new heights, previously unimaginable. Great strides have been made for girls that skate as well as the acceptance of skate history and long overdue recognition for skateboarding’s pioneers and its artifacts. Now that wall of separation has followed the same path as the Berlin Wall, allowing for an unprecedented unification of skateboarders all over the globe. One of the most important differences between now and then is that, 22 years ago, there was a clear division between old school and new school skateboarding. Today, there are numerous non-profits giving back to skateboarding in many ways. Two decades ago, skateboarding related charities were non-existent. Now skateboarders listen to almost every kind of sound created. In 1993, the majority of skateboarders listened to punk rock or hip hop exclusively. Now there are thousands of skateparks all over the world, along with a vast quantity of DIY spots built to skate. When we started Juice Magazine 22 years ago, you could count the number of skateparks on one hand and grindable pool coping was mostly a distant memory.
