Skateboarding by skate shoes was drummed out of existance

Over fifty million boards were sold within a three year period and then all of a sudden skateboarding by Skate Shoes died in the fall of 1965.The first crash of skateboarding came about due to inferior product, too much inventory and a public upset by reckless riding. The manufacturers were so busy making product that little was done in the way of research and development. Although some companies developed better quality wheels, clay wheels were the cheapest to manufacturer. However, clay wheels did not grip the road well and skaters fell everywhere. Cities started to ban skateboards in response to health and safety concerns and after a few fatal accidents, skateboarding by cheap skate shoes was drummed out of existance (for the time being at least!).

The first skateboard contest was held at the Pier Avenue Junior School in Hermosa, California in 1963. In 1964, surf legend Hobie Alter teamed up with the Vita Pakt juice company to create Hobie discount skate shoes . While most skaters took to the street or sidewalk, some brave souls decide to ride empty swimming pools. By 1965, international contests, movies (Skater Dater), a magazine (The Quarterly Skateboarder) and cross country trips by teams of skateboarders elevated the sport to enormous heights.

Manufacturers like Vita Pakt and Makaha lost enormous amounts of money due to canceled orders for the Christmas season.Over the next eight years, skateboarding by Skate Shoes remained fairly underground, showing up only in areas like Santa Monica, California. During this period Larry Stevenson invented the kicktail and tried to resurrect skateboarding but he met with only a small amount of success.
