How well does music go with a skateboard? Pretty well. So well, in fact, that we've received a mailing about if from our friend Ismael. Ismael says that when he rides blank skateboards, he loves listening to all sorts of music, "Music has always been involved in the world of skateboarding since its earliest history. The counterculture of skateboarding, in fact, is known for its wide variety musical styles. Today, there are several different genres that are closely identified with skateboarding.

Since skateboarding grew out of surfing culture during the 1950s and 1960s, it follows logically that the music and culture of skateboarding was originally quite similar to that of surfing." If you want to read the rest of ismaels post, check out his site.
