Abstract : This chapter examines the recent history of skateboarding as a cultural practice. It traces the evolution of skateboarding from an assertion of cultural autonomy by mainly young men within Chinese society to a cultural practice that has become strongly linked to the global economy and skateboarding culture. It is argued that when these links are coupled with the possibility of skateboarding becoming an Olympic sport, they pose a startling threat to, if not decline in cultural autonomy among Chinese skaters.
