Dogtown Santa Monica California...The original, the innovators, the real story makers.
Skateboarding as we know it originally started in the salty seas off the Californian coasts, on the surf. From there young riders started incorporating their surfing skills and everything they had learnt in the barrels of the pacific, slowly started applying it straight to short boards with ceramic wheels. Zephyr slowly come in to the picture; the first skate team.
They used to find empty swimming pools to use as bolls and if they weren't empty they would drain the water in a couple hours.
This documentary uses original footage from the 70's from the wanna be riders, the ones who weren't good enough to get on the team, it was a way of being part of the team.
Without the Zephyr crew skateboarding wouldn't exist...
Thanks brotha Sebastiano...
