Skateboarding, perhaps more than any other sport, is a culture unto itself. It welcomes people from all ages, walks of life, social classes and races, the only rule is that you need to be able to skate, or happy to learn, and willing to fall! It's a culture known for accepting outcasts and weirdos and making nerds into rockstars. It's also a tough sport that, to be mastered, requires true athleticism and daring.
