Skater & Nolan
Yo Nolan, ever think about how the first wheel was actually a huge deal for skateboarders? I’m digging into the ancient tech that started it all—like, how those early wheels changed the game for everyone. Want to dive into the history behind our board?
That’s an angle I haven’t examined in depth yet, but it’s fascinating. The wheel’s journey from simple stone to the slick rubber we’re used to today is full of twists and turns. I’m in. Let’s trace the tech and see what it meant for early skaters.
Nice, let’s roll back the clock. Back in the day, skaters had stone wheels on wooden frames, right? Then came the glass ones in the 1900s, slick but still rough. Fast forward, rubber finally hits the scene, and boom—smooth, grip, speed. Early skaters were basically inventing the sport as they went. Curious which part of that journey sparked the most fire?
