Abstract
The objective of this study is to present the elements of the sportivization of the cultural practice of skateboarding (1960-1990), as knowledge for the understanding of the relation between the micro and the macro social and historical processes of skateboarding. We used the magazine Revista Tribo Skate as source of historical research for the sportiviza- tion of skateboarding in Brazil, the macro dimension, and for the micro dimension, the city of Piracicaba/SP, where we interviewed two collaborators based on the method of oral history. The results evidenced that the skateboarding has appeared to generate pleasant strong tensions, its leisure forms precede its sport form and, respecting the particularities, its macro and micro historical processes are interdependent.
