![]() And yeah, skateboarding defies ranking (despite X Games "medalists"), but we went ahead and ranked the parks anyway (let the debate begin!). They've been around for decades, but the past few years have seen a proliferation of new facilities around the world. Of course, it's also pretty damn beautiful when somebody (company, town, private person) spends a ton of cash to make places where skaters can skate things built specifically for skateboarding. The sport art has come a long way in its 50+-year history, but it still might be the most beautiful when it's at its simplest: four wheels, a board, and a hard surface. In the annals of "So-Called Fads That Forever Changed the World", skateboarding ranks with rap music for its sheer piss-off-the-parents staying power.
