• Semi-Protect this article (due to vandalism)
• remove the beijing skaters picture. that is copyright. that was a picture that I took of my friends. and that picture belongs to ME! REMOVE IT PLEASE!
• In the section Skateboarding as a form of transportation, the article mentions dangers due to roughness in pavement. Could someone also note that these become less of an issue, and is one of the benefits of riding a longboard for transportation?
• The media in this article could use an image relevant to the early era of skateboarding. So I found an image of Jay Adams, an original member of the Z-Boys, skating a bank and doing what may or may not have been called the Bert slide at the time. http://www2.hawaii.edu/~dsm/me/pics/jay_adams_lite.jpg Andrewjamessteiner (talk) 19:45, 16 March 2014 (UTC) Andrew Steiner
• In the second paragraph after the 1970's heading, the article describes the evolution of the deck becoming wider and reaching widths of 10 inches, and following that sentence the article goes on to describe banana boards. The article would flow better and be more well written if the banana boards were mentioned before talking about the wider boards coming out.
• The last sentence in the lead section "Since the 1970s, skateparks have been constructed specifically for use by skateboarders, Freestyle BMXers, aggressive skaters, and very recently, scooters." could be removed to have a more concise lead section that provides the reader with details regarding subsequent sections and leaves out unnecessary information about BMXers, aggressive skaters, and scooters.
