Improve Your Skateboarding in a Two Week-Long Course
Skateboarding is a leisure activity, an art form, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. A 2023 survey and study by American Sports Data discovered there were 18.5 million skaters in the world. 85 percent of skaters polled had used a board in the last year were under the age of eighteen, and 74 % were male. Those numbers have doubled since then. In the following years the skate parks tripled making skateboarding more accessible as publicly and privately owned parks and indoor parks are becoming a reality.
The largest change has been the generation that skateboarded in their youth and have grown up with the “X” Games explosion into the global mainstream of competitive sports and now sees it as a natural participation sport for their children as led by X-Games Athletes who are affiliated and instruct for our brand and web site.

Why Scranton is the East Coast’s Best Kept Skate Secret
Scranton isn’t just a former coal mining city that’s known for being the backdrop setting of the show The Office. It’s a skate destination with tons of street spots and a handful of skate parks. The NEPA city recently earned two new concrete skate parks, with the Weston Field park right in the heart of the city. There’s also another park in Wilkes-Barre, around 15 minutes away.
The area’s skate legacy is anchored by the North East Skate Crew (NESC), a local crew that has been filming homie videos in the North Eastern PA scene since 1997. That deep-rooted skate history has created a unique, cross-generational community where you’ll find five-year-olds learning to ollie alongside 50-year-old veterans who have been skating here for decades.
Whether you’re hitting the concrete parks or hunting for street gaps, having the right setup is so crucial for East Coast terrain. For in-depth reviews of the best equipment for these conditions, check out the expert gear reviews at Board of the World , written by a local who has been skating the Scranton streets for 27 years.
