Public Typography: In the Skate World

Page 29

Skating has created its own style and brands complete with graphics and typography. The type can be found in the skate park, on the skater, on the gear, in the shop, and even in mainstream stores like WalMart. Cheap boards give new riders bad experiences that discourage them from continuing on with the sport. Local skate shops are normally run by people who are dedicated to skating and promote it as a quality sport. These local workers can provide helpful tips on how to choose a board that is appropriate for a rider’s current size and skill level. These boards are not only a better quality when it comes to material and safety, but they are aesthetically more pleasing too.
