2013: The Year Modern Skateboarding Broke
Depending on your age, this video either serves as a reminder that time is really flying or as a brilliant history lesson of some of our beloved pastime's most important recent history.
Believe it or not, 2013 is now ten years ago and a series of seemingly separate big moves a decade ago that ultimately shaped skateboarding into the beast we know today. The ever excellent Jenkem Magazine saw fit to revisit that seminal 12 month period and break down the most seismic occurrences of the year, chronologically explaining their impact in this fantastic video.
Looking back to things we take for granted now, like the launch of video hosting on Instagram or female and non binary skateboarders, this is essential viewing for anyone who cares about the history of skateboarding.
