From the beginning skateboarding has been about freedom and expression. What other activity on earth offers the opportunities that skating does? No rules, no guidelines, and no restrictions. You dont have to be a certain age or be on a certain playing field designed for it. Half sport and half art; skateboarding cannot be put in a box. The greatest picture of skateboarding that can be painted is one that shows a community of skaters pushing one another to skate their best while enjoying each others company. Its that pure spirit of skating that has birthed a ministry that cares about the history and the future of skateboarding, Middleman Skateboards.
