Who would've thought that, back in skateboarding's rebellious youth, this extreme sport would become such a focal point for Christian ministry?

These days, lots of churches are developing programs to reach skateboarders. We'll highlight a local one in Saturday's paper.

One of the most interesting things about this phenomenon is the cool art some skateboards have. The one on the left comes from SAP Skateboards -- one of seven designs I saw on the Web site.

Here are some other sites you might check out: Untitled Skateboards, 777 Skateboards and Dodge This. There are, of course, dozens of others.
