The Impact of Design on Skateboarding
Skateboarders have a unique perspective of the city, constantly on the lookout for spots to skate, such as ledges or curb cuts. Design elements like bench shapes and rails influence the skateboarding experience. Skate stoppers are used to discourage skating on certain structures. Love Park in Philadelphia, a modernist design, became an iconic skateboarding spot until it was renovated and designed to deter skaters. Skateboarders continue to seek out spots in the streets, finding hidden gems and putting their own mark on the city.
