Music
has big influence on skaters. It constitutes a major
part of their life. It increases their desire for skateboarding.
Skaters like to listen to energetic music - music that
contains the young man's surplus of energy. Skateboarding
originated from that energy. The usual genres are hard
core, punk rock, hip hop, ska etc. In many ways skaters
combine music with skateboarding, and this is where
skateboarding becomes a form of art, like dancing, an
individual expression and an obsession.
