295+ “Kick-Flipping” Skateboarding Slogans & Taglines

Back in 90s, I remember first hand when skateboarding started to gain mass appeal when the sport began getting airtime on cable tv networks like ESPN in the middle of the day. As a kid, the scene, clothing style, music and attitude associated with the sport was pretty appealing. Of course, I never became much of a skateboarder myself, unless you count playing hours of Tony Hawk on the Nintendo 64.

With that being said, here’s a long list of skateboarding slogans and taglines that I feel represent the sport and culture of skateboarding. I also share some “no skateboarding” slogans if you’re trying to keep kids off the parking lot or sidewalk of a property.
