A skateboarder of the 80’s…

If you were a skateboarder, as we were, in the 80’s, these following names will remind you some great memories: Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Mike McGill, Rodney Mullen, Tommy Guerrero, Natas Kaupas, Powell Peralta, the bones Brigade, Santa Cruz, Rat Bones…

At this period, There was a special atmosphere, riders were a bit punk & reckless, skateboard graphics and dress code imagination seemed to be limitless… As good old 40 years old guys, we probably consider this era as the golden years of the skateboard scene…

These years are part of our background and can sometimes inspire us when we work on our products. there is still a kids part in us…

Last June, We had a blast at the El Rollo flat track event (part of the Wheels & Waves 6th edition) by talking and riding with one of our youth idol Steve Caballero. As talented on a motorcycle as (still) on a skateboard… It was weird seeing him there still rocking the mini. And the child in us was so happy…
