Alternative sports have become incredibly popular among today’s youth and even young adults. Skateboarding, roller blading, BMX biking, and others started to gain popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. When ESPN introduced the X Games to celebrate the professionals of extreme sports, alternative sports were introduced to the entire country and to the world. Since then, skateboarding has become a much more acceptable sport. There are millions of kids around the country who call themselves skateboarders. They frequent public areas and skate parks, exploring and improving their skateboarding skills. Albert Cyprys has been a longtime supporter of the good that skateboarding can create in people. Albert Cyprys has seen kids find inspiration, confidence, and courage through skateboarding. These lessons carry into their future lives as professionals and adults.
