Kickflip Kulture

The kickflip is a skateboard maneuver that has been popularized through various forms of media. Skateboard culture has been on a roller-coaster rise and decline pattern since its spotlighting in the 80's. Since the progression of "sidewalk surfing" of the 60's, a sub-culture of diverse people has managed to survive. Nowadays the skateboard industry has become a billion dollar market with millions of skaters across the globe. Skate culture is so big it now has cultures within itself; alt, hipster, preppy, hesh, fresh, and mashup mixtures of all the styles. One great thing about true skate culture is that its all about skating. Every one is generally on the same team. Despite the existence of the skateboard culture there has been a lack of places to purchase skateboards, wheels, trucks, and clothes. For a few years there has been no where to buy gear in bountiful, but now there is a shop called Annex. It opened its doors on black Friday and I hope it will be here for the skate culture of years to come.
