An early pioneer of street skateboarding was Rodney Mullen, who dominated freestyle skateboarding competitions in the 1980s, and whose invention of the flatground ollie in 1982 opened up streets as a surface for skateboarding tricks, rather than requiring a vertical surface. At the tail end of the 1980's and around the beginning of the 90's; street skateboarding evolved as a new approach to Skateboarding from elements taken from the other existing Skateboarding disciplines.

transportation. This style is a choice for skaters who want something in-between longboarding and skateboarding. Non-competition downhill skateboarding is one of the oldest styles of skateboarding and was popular in the early 1970s. Original longboards were described as being like snow skis (in terms of length). Modern riders often use longboards for races, but some use regular skateboards for non-competition downhill skateboarding.

Skateboard styles can be broadly divided into two different categories: skateboarding to perform tricks and skateboarding as a means of transportation. Styles

While this wave of skateboarding was sparked by commercialized vert ramp skating, a majority of people who skateboarded during this period didn't ride vert ramps. As most people could not afford to build vert ramps, or did not have access to nearby ramps, street skating increased in popularity.

The emphasis in freestyle is technical flat ground skateboarding. Often a freestyler will need little more than a board and a smooth, flat surface. Music and choreography have always been an essential part of the professional freestyle routine. Freestyle in the 1950s was created by members of the surfing culture who thought an alternative during times when conditions were not conducive to surfing—surfers would imitate
