Societal+Influences+of+Skater+and+Rhetor

__**Societal Influences**__ When traveling through any town you will probably see a no skating sign either on a street or a parking garage. The development of skate parks in these types of towns is also typical. Whether or not street skating versus park skating are equal is for the individual to decide. A skate park is similar to any other community gathering place. Ideas are shared, tricks are traded, and competitions arise, perhaps like the coffee shop of the stereotypical rhetor. However aren’t the skaters rhetors as well? At any one time at a skate park there could be dozens of skaters all looking to impress others and build their own skills. As seen on our‍‍‍‍‍ main page‍‍‍‍‍, the journey to become better is what rhetoric and skating are about. The ability for these likeminded individuals to congregate is what has developed into modern skating and rhetoric. Would some of the best tricks done by skaters like Alan "Ollie" Gelfand or Steve Caballero be in existence today if they didn’t have a place to share their abilities with others? This is a simple question to answer, no; the tricks would not be here today if it wasn’t for rhetoric and comingling of skaters.
