up generally consists
of a gradual increase

before running or playing
an intense sport one

muscles and increase
heart rate. It is important
that warm ups should

Horizon
New
The skateboard has
evolved since the 􀃀 rst
mass produced models in
the 1960s. Boards in the
past were often made in
the shape of a surfboard,
with no concavity and
constructed of solid
wood, plastic, even
metal. The wheels were
usually made of a clay
composite, or steel and
the trucks (axles) were
less sturdy and initially
of a 'single-action' design
compared to today's
'double-action'.
