Three ways in

 For this exercise we will be composing three different leads or beginning's for our research paper. This may seem redundant and quite a lot of work but the more you can pour out on paper the better chance you have of writing an amazing paper. Beginnings are the most important part of your paper.

1.  Skateboarding was invented in California in the late 1950s, by 1963 skateboarding hit its peak. popularity grew into real competitions such as downhill and freestyles and "professionals" of the sport like Woody Woodward and Danny Berer. Over the years, skateboards found their growth and evolution too with the develop of urethane wheels and smoother board styles. By the 80s and 90s skateboarding became its own subculture and along came the anti-establishment ideology that quickly mixed into the culture. People became obsessed with furthering the sport and culture and The X games were aired on ESPN, a well known sports television channel in 1995. This brought skateboarders more mainstream than ever and street boarding became the most popular style. Now in the 2000s we have mass media, video games, skate shops, and organizations. The history of skateboarding is a truly amazing story of evolution and the rise of a community based sport.

2.  Skateboarding has developed over the past sixty years as a prominent sport and form of leisure across the country. Big cities and small tows alike have become flooded with young and old skateboarders alike. Since its inception in the 80s and 90s as an anti-establishment subculture however many places such as big cities have looked down on skateboarding as a destructive and socially unhealthy culture. How has society's view of skateboarders changed from acceptance into the professional sporting world to laws that have suppressed and even in some places abolished skateboarding?

3. Skateboarders come in all ages and from all backgrounds. the community and joy of the sport has been essential in developing and growing the sport all across the country. Over the past sixty years skateboarders have seen the sport they love grow from a small time street side leisure to a prominent professional sport known to most people as respectable. However, as street skateboarders have multiplied and flourished in large cities society's views on skateboarders have changed. now many laws have been passed to stop skateboarders from skating in many places and many have bad reputations of gangs and destruction. How can we change this as a society and can skateboarding find its community roots once again?
