A sport with no rules and no “team” evolves at warp speed. The pressure of individual creativity forces evolution, and what spontaneously emerges is the most technical, most creative, and most individual sport in existence. Or can this even be classified as “sport”? It is a deeply technical, deeply personal pursuit. Both a goal to be pursued, but also engaged in for its own sake. There is the unconscious pursuit of “flow”, the desire to function at the very limit of our abilities, while pushing against, and sometimes breaking through, that boundary. Experienced skateboarders even appear to move beyond talent and to have developed a ‘palate’ that is evident in their skating. This is kaleidic, unbounded evolution in realtime.
