I've been riding skateboards for over 15 years and there has been little technological change in the boards themselves. There has been more of a slow evolution. The shapes of the boards have changed a good bit, more concave, steeper tails and noses, symetrical front and rear... I got back in after an absence of about 3 years and EVERYTHING had changed just a little bit. All of those small differences did make a big difference. The boards are still made of the same hard rock Canadian maple though. The wheel bases got shorter, the wheels got smaller, not to mention all of the new skateparks we get to ride now. Not just the equipment is changeing in sports, the arenas are changeing as well.
