If you’re a fan of skateboarding, you will know that the invention of modern skateboarding started in the 1970s from a group of surfers turned skateboarders known as the Z-Boys. There was a movie about that, and you should probably already have seen it. If you haven’t, then I recommend you check out the awesome documentary about the Z-Boys narrated by Sean Penn, and the biopic called “Lords of Dogtown”. Either way, the rise of skateboarding has led to a lot of different brands getting a lot of attention, and I for one love that it’s a major thing to work with. I still skateboard to this day, and while I am not a professional, or anything like that, I still ride.
One of the things that I personally look at is all of the new designs and interesting artwork that comes from the world of skateboarding, and today, I wanted to feature a light hearted look at something awesome, and that’s the boards that are now available from
Dogtown Skateboards. That’s right, the mighty Dogtown crew, the people that started it all, are still putting out good skateboard decks, and if you want a piece of history, you can support their run of boards. Dogtown skateboards is from the west coast, and they are the ones that started it all, from the Z-Boys moving forward to Santa Monica and Venice.
