=== Film ===
Skateboarding was popularized by the 1986 skateboarding cult classic ''[[Thrashin' (film)|Thrashin'<nowiki/>]]''. Directed by [[David Winters (choreographer)|David Winters]] and starring [[Josh Brolin]], it features appearances from many famous skaters such as [[Tony Alva]], [[Tony Hawk]], [[Christian Hosoi]] and [[Steve Caballero]]. ''Thrashin'<nowiki/>'' also had a direct impact on ''[[Lords of Dogtown]]'', as [[Catherine Hardwicke]], who directed ''Lords of Dogtown'', was hired by Winters to work on ''Thrashin{{'}}'' as a [[production designer]] where she met, worked with and befriended many famous skaters including the real Alva, Hawk, Hosoi and Caballero.<ref name="Architecture"/>

Skateboarding was, at first, tied to the culture of [[surfing]]. As skateboarding spread across the United States to places unfamiliar with surfing or surfer culture, it developed an image of its own. For example, the classic film short ''[[Video Days]]'' (1991) portrayed skateboarders as "reckless rebels".<ref name="Architecture"/>

California duo [[Jan and Dean]] recorded the song "[[Sidewalk Surfin']]" in 1964, which is the [[Beach Boys]] song "[[Catch a Wave]]" with new lyrics associated with skateboarding instead of surfing.

=== Skate parks ===
Certain cities still oppose the building of [[Skatepark|skate parks]] in their neighborhoods, for fear of increased crime and drugs in the area. The rift between the old image of skateboarding and a newer one is quite visible: magazines such as ''[[Thrasher (magazine)|Thrasher]]'' portray skateboarding as dirty, rebellious, and still firmly tied to [[Punk subculture|punk]], while other publications, ''[[Transworld Skateboarding]]'' as an example, paint a more diverse and controlled picture of skateboarding. As more professional skaters use [[hip hop]], [[reggae]], or [[hard rock]] music accompaniment in their videos, many urban youths, hip hop fans, reggae fans, and hard rock fans are also drawn to skateboarding, further diluting the sport's punk image.

Group spirit supposedly influences the members of this community. In presentations of this sort, showcasing of criminal tendencies is absent, and no attempt is made to tie extreme sports to any kind of illegal activity. Female based skateboarding groups also exist, such as [[Brujas (skate crew)|Brujas]] which is based in [[New York City]]. Many women use their participation in skate crews to perform an alternative form of femininity.<ref name="Architecture"/><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kelly|first=Deirdre|date=August 2005|title=Skater girlhood and emphasized femininity: 'you can't land an ollie properly in heels'|journal=Gender and Education|volume=17|issue=3|pages=229–248|doi=10.1080/09540250500145163|s2cid=145298518}}</ref> These female skate crews offer a safe haven for women and girls in cities, where they can skate and bond without male expectations or competition.

=== Video ===
The increasing availability of technology is apparent within the skateboarding community. Many skateboarders record and edit videos of themselves and friends skateboarding. However, part of this culture is to not merely replicate but to innovate; emphasis is placed on finding new places and landing new tricks.

=== Video games ===
Skateboarding video games have also become very popular in skateboarding culture.<ref name="Clayton">{{Cite web |last=Clayton |first=Natalie |date=2021-05-27 |title=Skateboarding games are back, here's why they're better than ever |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/skateboarding-games-are-back-heres-why-theyre-better-than-ever/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220817143832/https://www.pcgamer.com/skateboarding-games-are-back-heres-why-theyre-better-than-ever/ |archive-date=2022-08-17 |access-date=2023-11-13 |website=PC Gamer |language=en}}</ref> Some of the most popular are the [[Tony Hawk (series)|''Tony Hawk'' series]] and ''[[Skate (2007 video game)|Skate]]'' series for various consoles (including hand-held) and personal computer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.surfertoday.com/skateboarding/the-best-skateboarding-games-of-all-time|title = The best skateboarding games of all time}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/best-skateboard-video-games|title=The Best (And Worst) Skateboard Video Games, According to Skaters|date=June 28, 2020}}</ref>

===Skate shoe===
{{Further|Skate shoe}}
Whilst early skateboarders generally rode [[barefoot]], preferring direct foot-to-board contact, and some skaters continue to do so, one of the early leading trends associated with the [[Subculture|sub-culture]] of skateboarding itself, was the sticky-soled slip-on [[skate shoe]], most popularized by [[Sean Penn]]'s skateboarding character from the 1982 film ''[[Fast Times at Ridgemont High]]''.<ref name="Architecture"/><ref name="Wave"/> Because early skateboarders were actually surfers trying to emulate the sport of surfing, at the time when skateboards first came out on the market, many skateboarded barefoot. But skaters often lacked traction, which led to foot injuries.<ref name="Fitzpatrick"/> This necessitated the need for a shoe that was specifically designed and marketed for skateboarding, such as the Randy "720", manufactured by the Randolph Rubber Company, and [[Vans]] sneakers, which eventually became cultural iconic signifiers for skateboarders during the 1970s and '80s as skateboarding became more widespread.<ref name="Wave"/><ref name="Popular">{{cite web |url = http://www.highsnobiety.com/2012/10/25/most-popular-and-era-defining-skateshoes-of-the-last-30-years-part-2/ |title = Most Popular and Era-Defining Skateshoes Of the Last 30 Years Part 2 |author = Fritz Radtke |date = October 25, 2012 |work = Highsnob |access-date = November 10, 2012 |archive-url = https://archive.today/20130615190431/http://www.highsnobiety.com/2012/10/25/most-popular-and-era-defining-skateshoes-of-the-last-30-years-part-2/ |archive-date = June 15, 2013 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.ocregister.com/articles/-9209--.html | title= Vans strides back to O.C. | access-date= October 29, 2012 | author= Hang Nguyen | work= Orange County Register | date= June 1, 2007 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150318173737/http://www.ocregister.com/articles/-9209--.html | archive-date= March 18, 2015 | url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url= http://archive.mensjournal.com/jimmy-van-doren-skating%E2%80%99s-accidental-hero | title= Jimmy Van Doren: Skating's Accidental Hero | access-date= November 13, 2012 | author= David Browne | work= Men's Journal | year= 2012 | url-status= dead | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131016124830/http://archive.mensjournal.com/jimmy-van-doren-skating%E2%80%99s-accidental-hero | archive-date= October 16, 2013 | df= mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url= http://skateboarddirectory.com/articles/480439_microsoft_video_games_and.html| title= Microsoft, Video Games, and Vans Skateparks| access-date= October 28, 2012| author= Josh Rabinowitz| work= SkateboardDirectory| date= November 23, 2002| url-status= dead| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121027222841/http://skateboarddirectory.com/articles/480439_microsoft_video_games_and.html| archive-date= October 27, 2012| df= mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url= http://skateboarddirectory.com/articles/483254_vans_second_quarter_sales.html | title= Vans Second Quarter Sales and Earnings | access-date= October 28, 2012 | author= Vans Inc. | work= SkateboardDirectory | date= December 26, 2003 | url-status= dead | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121027191512/http://skateboarddirectory.com/articles/483254_vans_second_quarter_sales.html | archive-date= October 27, 2012 | df= mdy-all }}</ref>

While the skate shoes design afforded better connection and traction with the deck, skaterboarders themselves could often be identified when wearing the shoes, with Tony Hawk once saying, "If you were wearing Vans shoes in 86, you were a skateboarder".<ref name="Stalefish"/> Because of its connection with skateboarding, Vans financed the legendary skateboarding documentary ''[[Dogtown and Z-Boys]]'' and was the first sneaker company to endorse a professional skateboarder [[Stacy Peralta]]. Vans has a long history of being a major sponsor of many of skateboarding's competitions and events throughout skateboarding's history as well, including the [[Warped Tour|Vans Warped Tour]] and the Vans Triple Crown Series.<ref name="Architecture"/><ref name="Wave"/><ref>{{cite web |url = http://snowboarding.transworld.net/1000027743/other/xbox-sponsors-vans-triple-crown/|title = Xbox sponsors vans triple crown |date = July 23, 2001 |work = Transworld Snowboarding |access-date= October 28, 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url= http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/worlds-best-skateboarders-to-compete-in-southern-california-october-6-8th-vans-to-host-premier-event-in-the-sport-73449707.html| title= World's Best Skateboarders to Compete in Southern California| access-date= October 29, 2012| author= Vans| work= PRNewswire| year= 2000| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131114181536/http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/worlds-best-skateboarders-to-compete-in-southern-california-october-6-8th-vans-to-host-premier-event-in-the-sport-73449707.html| archive-date= November 14, 2013| url-status= live}}</ref><ref name="shoes">{{cite web |url = http://www.skateboardermag.com/features/15thngshoes/ |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110127072958/http://www.skateboardermag.com/features/15thngshoes/ |url-status = dead |archive-date = January 27, 2011 |title = 15 Things You Didn't Know About Skate Shoes |author = Adam Salo |date = January 5, 2006 |work = GrindMedia |access-date = November 2, 2012 }}</ref><ref name="Footwear">{{cite book |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=yuMdRAAACAAJ |title = Made for Skate:The Illustrated History of Skateboard Footwear |author1 = Jurgen Blumlein |author2 = Daniel Schmid |author3 = Dirk Vogel |publisher = Gingko Press |date = July 1, 2010 |isbn = 9781584233978 |access-date = November 2, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150319224353/http://books.google.com/books/about/Made_for_Skate.html?id=yuMdRAAACAAJ |archive-date = March 19, 2015 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url = http://www.ladolcetati.com/sneakers.html|title = The Heads Behind The Shoes|author = Tatiana Simonian|magazine = Anthem Magazine|year = 2005|access-date = November 13, 2012|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100625041009/http://www.ladolcetati.com/sneakers.html|archive-date = June 25, 2010|df = mdy-all}}</ref>

As it eventually became more apparent that skateboarding had a particular identity with a style of shoe, other brands of shoe companies began to specifically design skate shoes for functionality and style to further enhance the experience and culture of skateboarding including such brands as; [[Converse (shoe company)|Converse]], [[Nike Skateboarding|Nike]], [[DC Shoes]], [[Globe International|Globe]], [[Adidas]], [[Zoo York (company)|Zoo York]] and [[World Industries]]. Many professional skateboarders are designed a pro-model skate shoe, with their name on it, once they have received a [[skateboarding sponsorship]] after becoming notable skateboarders. Some shoe companies involved with skateboarding, like [[Sole Technology]], an American footwear company that makes the [[Etnies]] skate shoe brand, further distinguish themselves in the market by collaborating with local cities to open public [[skateparks]], such as the [[etnies Skatepark]] in [[Lake Forest, California|Lake Forest]], California.<ref name="shoes"/><ref name="Footwear"/><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.sitedesigngroup.com/projects/details/lake-forest |title = Etnies Skatepark Of Lake Forest Aerial |work=Site Design Group|access-date=November 2, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091003012253/http://www.sitedesigngroup.com/projects/details/lake-forest|archive-date=October 3, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Street">{{Cite book|last=Davis|first=James|title=Skateboarding is not a Crime: 50 years of Street Culture|publisher=Firefly Books|year=2004|pages=[https://archive.org/details/skateboardingisn00davi/page/67 67]|url=https://archive.org/details/skateboardingisn00davi|url-access=registration|isbn=9781554070015|access-date=November 14, 2015}}</ref>

===Skateboard deck===
{{Further|Skateboard deck}}
Individuality and a self-expressed casual style have always been cultural values for skateboarders, as uniforms and jerseys are not typically worn.<ref name="Ethnographic">{{cite web |url = http://thesportjournal.org/article/ethnographic-study-skateboarding-culture |title = An Ethnographic Study of the Skateboarding Culture |author = Linda Moore |date = October 2009 |work = The Sport Journal |access-date = November 12, 2012 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091012182157/http://www.thesportjournal.org/article/ethnographic-study-skateboarding-culture |archive-date = October 12, 2009 |df = mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Skateboarding Aesthetic - Skater Style|url=https://lolipoper.com/skateboarding-aesthetic/|website=Lolipoper Magazine}}</ref> This type of personal style for skateboarders is often reflected in the graphical designs illustrated on the bottom of the deck of skateboards, since its initial conception in the mid-seventies, when Wes Humpston and Jim Muri first began doing design work for Dogtown Skateboards out of their garage by hand, creating the very first iconic skateboard-deck art with the design of the "Dogtown Cross".<ref>{{cite magazine |url = http://juicemagazine.com/home/dogtown-chronicles-wes-humpston// |title = Dog Town Chronicles:Wes Humpston |author = Ari Marsh |magazine = Juice Magazine |date = December 1, 2005 |access-date = November 17, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131222034636/http://juicemagazine.com/home/dogtown-chronicles-wes-humpston/ |archive-date = December 22, 2013 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABBvb7X3SWk |title = Walrus TV: Wes Humpston Interview from "The Run Up" |author = Walrus TV |website = [[YouTube]] |date = December 2, 2009 |access-date = November 17, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150604103925/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABBvb7X3SWk |archive-date = June 4, 2015 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125382730236838863.html#slide/1|title = Skateboarding's History in Graphics|author = V.Courtlandt Johnson|date = September 25, 2009|work = [[the Wall Street Journal]]|access-date = November 17, 2012|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100102062550/http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125382730236838863.html#slide/1|archive-date = January 2, 2010|url-status = live}}</ref>

Prior to the mid-seventies many early skateboards were originally based upon the concept of “Sidewalk Surfing” and were tied to the [[surf culture]], skateboards were surfboard like in appearance with little to no graphics located under the bottom of the skateboard-deck.<ref name="Architecture"/> Some of the early manufactured skateboards such as "Roller Derby", the "Duraflex Surfer" and the "Banana board" are characteristic. Some skateboards during that time were manufactured with company logo's or stickers across the top of the deck of the skateboard, as [[griptape]] was not initially used for construction. But as skateboarding progressed and evolved, and as artists began to design and add influence to the artwork of skateboards, designs and themes began to change.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.noupe.com/design/art-on-board-skateboarding-and-the-artistic-sub-culture.html |title = Art on Board: Skateboarding and the Artistic Sub-Culture |author = Kendra Gaines |publisher = Noupe |date = June 14, 2012 |access-date = December 8, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121219112727/http://www.noupe.com/design/art-on-board-skateboarding-and-the-artistic-sub-culture.html |archive-date = December 19, 2012 |url-status = live }}</ref>

There were several artistic skateboarding pioneers that had an influence on the culture of skateboarding during the 1980s, that transformed skateboard-deck art like Jim Phillips, whose edgy comic-book style "Screaming Hand", not only became the main logo for [[Santa Cruz Skateboards]], but eventually transcended into tattoos of the same image for thousands of people and vinyl collectible figurines over the years.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cruz/05.21.98/nhs-9820.html |title = Extreme Success |author = Mary Spicuzza |newspaper = Metro Santa Cruz |date = May 1998 |access-date = November 18, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121005061002/http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cruz/05.21.98/nhs-9820.html |archive-date = October 5, 2012 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.skateboardermag.com/features/phillips-qa/ |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131105102612/http://www.skateboardermag.com/features/phillips-qa/ |url-status = dead |archive-date = November 5, 2013 |title = Jim Phillips Q/A |date = June 1, 2006 |work = [[Skateboarder Magazine]] |access-date = November 18, 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url = http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/localnews/ci_20377882/wild-aggressive-artwork-jimbo-phillips-carries-well-known|title = The wild, aggressive artwork of Jimbo Phillips carries on a well-known Santa Cruz dynasty|author = Wallace Baine|newspaper = Santa Cruz Sentinel|date = April 12, 2012|access-date = November 18, 2012|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120829211403/http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/localnews/ci_20377882/wild-aggressive-artwork-jimbo-phillips-carries-well-known|archive-date = August 29, 2012|url-status = live}}</ref> Artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson is said to have used his artwork of skeletons and skulls, for [[Powell Peralta]], during the same time that the music genres of [[punk rock]] and [[new wave music]] were beginning to mesh with the culture of skateboarding.<ref name="Wave"/><ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.espn.com/action/skateboarding/news/story?id=6220433|title = VCJ rejoins Powell-Peralta|author = Jeff DiNunzio|publisher = ESPN Action Sports|date = March 24, 2011|access-date = November 24, 2012|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110528124122/http://sports.espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/news/story?id=6220433|archive-date = May 28, 2011|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=z30T4ogfo3EC&q=most+famous+skateboard+deck+art&pg=PT28|title = The World of Skateboarding|author = Brian Wingate|publisher = Rosen Publishing group|year = 2003|isbn = 9780823936489|access-date = November 28, 2012|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140709024038/http://books.google.com/books?id=z30T4ogfo3EC&pg=PT28&dq=most+famous+skateboard+deck+art&hl=en&sa=X&ei=QXm2UN-7O8m3iwKxwoGwBA&ved=0CEEQ6AEwAw|archive-date = July 9, 2014|url-status = live}}</ref> Some other notable skateboard artists that made contributions to the culture of skateboarding also include Andy Jenkins, [[Todd Bratrud]], [[Neil Blender]], [[Marc McKee]], [[Tod Swank]], [[Mark Gonzales]], [[Lance Mountain]], [[Natas Kaupas]] and [[Jim Evans (artist)|Jim Evans]].<ref>{{cite web |url = http://blog.istia.tv/2011/03/skateboard-in-hat.html |title = The skateboard in the hat |author = Xavier Lannes |publisher = I Skate Therefore I Am |date = March 14, 2011 |access-date = December 8, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131107061654/http://blog.istia.tv/2011/03/skateboard-in-hat.html |archive-date = November 7, 2013 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.espn.com/action/skateboarding/news/story?id=4330040 |title = Indisposable: "The Disposable Skateboard Bible" |author = Josh Brooks |publisher = ESPN Action Sports |date = November 4, 2009 |access-date = December 8, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121104182951/http://espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/news/story?id=4330040 |archive-date = November 4, 2012 |url-status = live }}</ref>

Over the years skateboard-deck art has continued to influence and expand the culture of skateboarding, as many people began collecting skateboards based on their artistic value and nostalgia. Productions of limited editions with particular designs and types of collectible prints that can be hung on the wall, have been created by such famous artists as [[Andy Warhol]] and [[Keith Haring]].<ref name="Architecture"/> Most professional skateboarders today have their own signature skateboard decks, with their favorite artistic designs printed on them using [[computer graphics]].<ref>{{cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=47WXJ609j0MC&q=powell+peralta+history&pg=PA6|title = To the Limit Skateboarding|author = Andy Horsley|publisher = Rosen Publishing group|year = 2012|isbn = 9781448870295|access-date = November 28, 2012|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150319234110/http://books.google.com/books?id=47WXJ609j0MC&pg=PA6&dq=powell+peralta+history&hl=en&sa=X&ei=xHG2UPT9Nc_piQKI14DgCg&ved=0CDwQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=powell%20peralta%20history&f=false|archive-date = March 19, 2015|url-status = live}}</ref><ref name="Workshop">{{cite web | last = Fleming | first = Robin | title = Keith Haring x Alien Workshop | publisher = ESPN Action Sports | date = August 14, 2012 | url = https://www.espn.com/action/skateboarding/story/_/id/8290604/alien-workshop-releases-keith-haring-series | access-date = November 28, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151117015252/http://espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/story/_/id/8290604/alien-workshop-releases-keith-haring-series | archive-date = November 17, 2015 | url-status = live }}</ref>
