>90's craze

uhhh, no.

The crazes were:
60's surfers on tiny boards
70's pool riders
80's vert/mini ramp and some early street

Skateboarding flat out died by like 91 and only sort of gained steam after the Extreme Games came out

Then when Tony Hawk's Pro Skater came out and Tony landed the 900 it re-launched skateboarding into popularity from about 99-06 or so, then it tapered off and has just ebbed and flowed since.

>getting tons of new people interested in skateboarding

Except they aren't really. Youtubers and especially Braille are too gimmick-driven. THPS got people interested in skateboarding because you skated around in the game and you felt that desire to try it in real life. Braille just bolts trucks to a book or an iPad or some shit and breaks it in 3 seconds, it's barely even skate content and has more overlap with the "America's Funniest Home Videos" demographic. They're also quickly failing and had to shut down their park IIRC.
