Dogtown

I was into the skateboarding culture back in the 80's (never got very good at it). I even had a couple friends who even built ramps in their backyards, and I'd hang out and learned about all the big names in the sport from California and around the world. Now there are a few movies out that capture the beginning of it all in Venice, CA. I just finished watching Lords of Dogtown, and now I have Dogtown and Z-Boys on my queue. Fun to look back at those times...I never knew how the skating craze really started.
