Part of the appeal of the sport seems to come from the lifestyle and culture associated with it. Skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding share a similar identity which includes a common style, attitude and language.
SKATEBOARDING IN CITY CENTRES
It is likely that certain areas of city centres will be out of bounds for skateboarding. Highly populated areas or sites of historical interest, such as town halls, will have restrictions imposed by the local authority.
