So, exactly how many skaters are there?
Wednesday April 23, 2008
Ever wonder how many skaters there really are out there? No one knows! Skaters are like cockroaches - you turn the lights on, and we scatter! And, you just can't kill us, no matter how hard you try. And some of us are very very disgusting.
I get this question a lot, so when I know anything at all, I like to share it! I recently had a conversation with someone who knew a thing or two, and she shared the stat with me that the average participation in skateboarding from 2004 to 2006 was 14,433,000 skaters in the United States.
So, how many skaters are there now, then? Well, all I know for sure are more. And how does this compare with the rest of the planet? These are all good questions, and I'm sure that someone out there knows the answers! So, if you know something, or have a guess, or just want to lie online, please leave a comment below!

That was useful info for me. Skateboarding is taking over!
Skateboarding is taking over. I’d almost want to say 1 i every 5 under 25.
are we talking skaters or “skaters?” I mean, every white boy under 20 has owned a skateboard at some time, but that doesn’t count, does it? I moved out from my home town a few years back and I see young kids skating all the time but am yet to find a real skater friend over 21. But thats cause I am lame…
i am doing a research paper on skateboarding so this info really helped me. and also i hate it when someone is acting like they are a skater when they are just really a poser. lol
