Goofyfoot: riding with the right foot forward

The Rye Airfield Skate Park is New England’s premiere indoor skate park.   The indoor park was designed and built by Jack Murphy Productions (designers of The Gravity Games) with the consultation of former Pro Skater, Dave Duncan.  This year round facility has 50,000 square feet and features everything you’ve dreamed about riding or skating all under one roof.

Although the first skateboard was developed by a company named "Eternal", it wasn't until 1980 that the variation of the skateboard as we know it was made. It was built in a California surf shop, meant to be used by surfers when the ocean was flat. The shop owner, Bill Richard and Kyler made a deal with the Chicago Roller Skate Company to produce sets of skate wheels, which they attached to square wooden boards. Accordingly, skateboarding was originally denoted "sidewalk surfing" and early skaters emulated surfing style and moves.
