Internet money and skateboarding. This is amazing.

"History lessons
The idea of Steemskate was first captured by @web-gnar. @Web-gnar thought it would be cool to start a skate contest for those few skaters that have signed up on Steem at that time.
Here is the first contest post : https://steemit.com/steemskate/@web-gnar/steemit-skateboarding-contest-week-1-steemskate-hosted-by-web-gnar
The contests still keep going and they never stopped. A year later, @web-gnar passed the Steemskate torch on me (@knowhow92) cause he was so busy and couldn't manage to be so active on Steem. A few months later, the @steemskate page was created in order to Resteem and Curate all skateboarding posts on our blockchain. The only "rule" in order to get curated by @steemskate is to use the #steemskate tag under your post.
It's been almost a year since Steemskate has been curating skate content actively and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon. More than 100 skate posts are uploaded every month on Steem and are resteemed and curated by us!
The Steemskate Token
Times are changing and we all have to adapt in order to evolve. That is exactly what @steemskate is about to do.
We are gonna be launching our own token via https://steem-engine.com/#
What is https://steem-engine.com/#
Steem Engine is a smart contracts side-chain platform for the Steem blockchain. This means that it can execute custom smart contracts based on data published to the Steem blockchain. This allows us to do things that are not currently supported by the Steem blockchain, such as creating custom tokens, or literally anything else achievable with a smart contract.
More info here : https://steem-engine.com/?p=faq
Steem-Engine makes it possible for anyone to create his/her own token, distribute it and buy or sell it on their internal DEX (Decentalized exchange). That's exactly what Steemskate is going to do.
We are gonna create 30,000,000 SKATE Tokens and issue 1/5 of these Tokens (6,000,000) on September 10."
