The Skateboard was invented by “Gustav zu Skate” in 1965 in West-Berlin and was called “Lustigkeitsrollbrett” then shortened to Skatebrett and in English Skateboard 🥸
Before Avril, we called it rollerboarding. The boards were considerably larger and you would propel yourself along with a long pole, like a gondola. Only the wealthy could afford true rollerboards, however, we would make our own with scrap wood. I had one that was a modified old door that I had attached bicycle wheels to the sides of. That board would FLY down hills but you needed the whole neighborhood to pull the damn thing back up again.

Be the change you want to see in the world
Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, that’s how World War I got started.
That reminds me of my favorite quote from the author of Eat, Pray, Love:
And yet, it’s good advice.
True, Archduke did a sick run at the Sarajevo Skatepark, everyone cheered but the Serbs didn’t liked being owned like that. Thus WW 1 started.
Abe Lincoln famously warned us about how people make up shit on the Internet.
On the other hand you don’t want to dismiss everything you read on the Internet. That’s how World War II got started.
Except Avril Lavigne hasn’t been Avril Lavigne ever since the switch. If you’re going to spread lies, at least use a real person maybe?
But everyone knows Avril Lavigne died in 2003, and Avril Lavigne did invent skateboarding in 2002. He’s not spreading lies, he’s exaggerating the truth.
The truth being, of course, there is no spoon.
Akshually, skateboarding was invented by a certain Marty McFly in 1955.
I remember seeing historical record film about this that was recorded on an magnetic tape medium.
Betamax?
His name was actually Calvin Klein.
It’s complicated…
It was invented in 1955 by Calvin Klein
Well it wasn’t good enough for her.
Isn’t Avril Lavigne the singer who was replaced with a clone?
/s
That was Michael Jackson but they made a mistake…he was African American and they forgot the African part with the clone… sorry Michael! I had to. I just had to!
I thought she was the inventor of too much eye make-up.
Skateboarding was not a woman’s invention. Not sure who did but it predates 2002 by at least 30 decades because I had one as a kid in the 70s. And hey, just found out they originated in the 30s
That’s the joke.gif
