Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, that’s how World War I got started.
That reminds me of my favorite quote from the author of Eat, Pray, Love:
Abe Lincoln famously warned us about how people make up shit on the Internet.
On the other hand you don’t want to dismiss everything you read on the Internet. That’s how World War II got started.
True, Archduke did a sick run at the Sarajevo Skatepark, everyone cheered but the Serbs didn’t liked being owned like that. Thus WW 1 started.
Akshually, skateboarding was invented by a certain Marty McFly in 1955.
I remember seeing historical record film about this that was recorded on an magnetic tape medium.
Betamax?

His name was actually Calvin Klein.
You have it wrong, it was Calvin Marty Klein.
Before Avril, we called it rollerboarding. The boards were considerably larger and you would propel yourself along with a long pole, like a gondola. Only the wealthy could afford true rollerboards, however, we would make our own with scrap wood. I had one that was a modified old door that I had attached bicycle wheels to the sides of. That board would FLY down hills but you needed the whole neighborhood to pull the damn thing back up again.
there should be a /c/shittybackinmyday
Man I wonder how much wrote human history is just people trolling.
This is a primary source, baby! That’s gonna be gold in 120 years!
Skateboarding is male dominated because women learn falling as you age isn’t fun faster than men.
Don’t tell that to the roller derby teams
I’ve never seen so many women at the skatepark. On quads, inline, and skateboards whatever. Ik its a shit post but I really like skating and I like how inclusive it tends to be these days.
Women on street league are doing tricks never been done before by women, always pushing the envelope. When I was growing up, my one skater friend was one of like 3 girls compromising the entire scene. Now you can catch 3 at the parks on any given day.
Except Avril Lavigne hasn’t been Avril Lavigne ever since the switch. If you’re going to spread lies, at least use a real person maybe?
But everyone knows Avril Lavigne died in 2003, and Avril Lavigne did invent skateboarding in 2002. He’s not spreading lies, he’s exaggerating the truth.
The truth being, of course, there is no spoon.
On a non-shitpost note
I’m amazed how things turn out sometimes:
The creator of the blog that originated the Avril Está Morta conspiracy has apologized and changed the whole blog post to state that Avril has not died yet, and that the blog was a way of showing how conspiracy theories may seem true.
I’m almost sure it was about the same way we got flat earth and sovereignty of citizens
It was invented in 1955 by Calvin Klein
The Skateboard was invented by “Gustav zu Skate” in 1965 in West-Berlin and was called “Lustigkeitsrollbrett” then shortened to Skatebrett and in English Skateboard 🥸
It’s complicated…
Well it wasn’t good enough for her.
Isn’t Avril Lavigne the singer who was replaced with a clone?
/s
That was Michael Jackson but they made a mistake…he was African American and they forgot the African part with the clone… sorry Michael! I had to. I just had to!
Wrong dunk my dude
7 out of 572 doctors disagree.
Wait skating is male dominated? I’m an old now, but that wasn’t the case in my town when I was a fellow kid.
Not many people scare anymore. Cars or walk (mainly car). At my school of 1,500 there’s maybe 3 bikes.
Nobody rides anything to go anywhere it’s just for fun now around the neighborhood.
Growing up in the 60’s I had a skateboard called a monster with a picture of a monster on the top. It had metal skate wheels on it. My uncle said they used to make something like that in the 40’s by nailing a skate onto a board, though it sounded more like a scooter since they usually added a handle to the front.
I thought she was the inventor of too much eye make-up.
Skateboarding was not a woman’s invention. Not sure who did but it predates 2002 by at least 30 decades because I had one as a kid in the 70s. And hey, just found out they originated in the 30s
It’s sarcasm dude and 30 decades would be 300 years it’s not that old
Yeah well i mistyped. Supposed to be just 3
That’s the joke.gif
