Skateboarders are often on the street perfecting every skateboarding trick they can do. With the street as their natural habitat, the notoriety of being a bum or a slacker is usually associated with skater boys. No wonder most parents dislike the idea of their daughter seeing or dating a skater boy. However the skateboarding landscape has changed over the years. This recreational activity is now categorized as an extreme sport and is now part of sports competitions.
Besides the typical 13 year old skater boys tinkering skateboard bearings this sport has bred professional skaters earning worldwide respect and big money. Normally, professional skaters are featured in sports magazines and get huge pay checks from sponsors and product endorsements.

Among renowned names in this sport include Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, Andy Macdonald, Tony Hawk, Jean Postec, and Ryan Sheckler who is 20 years old and currently the youngest professional skater.
