Jun 20, 2002 · Back in the 70s, in a run-down area of Santa Monica, a gang of surfer kids pioneered a new style of skateboarding, reinvigorating the dying hobby and redefining it as a modern urban sport. They ...

In 1964, Surfer Publications created SkateBoarder Magazine, and it became the first but very short-lived skateboarding publication. You can find all of the first issues here. What was skateboarding like back then? How was skateboarding perceived? How much has skateboarding changed? “We predict a real future for the sport – a future that could go as...
For a brief moment, SkateBoarder Magazine shined in the spotlight with unrivaled success. It helped skateboarding reach new levels of popularity previously never thought possible. But it was all built upon a fatal design. Clay wheels perform best on polyurethane-coated wood floors, most commonly found in roller skating rinks. On any other terrain, ...
The polyurethane wheel made skateboards safer, faster, and more fun overall. You could basically ride anywhere, carve at speed, and really emulate the turns performed on a wave. With the new rise of skateboarding and a lack of a magazine, Ads for skateboard products started to appear in Surfer Magazine. Apparently, HALF the ad space was dedicated t...
It was at this time the Z Boys were introduced to the world through Craig Stecyk’s articles. His writing and photography perfectly framed the aggressive attitude of their riding style. It’s almost as if you flipped the page to an alternate universe. Glen E. Friedman, who was just a teenager then, started hanging out with the Z Boys and casually too...
Although the limelight of Dogtown faded, there was one man who kept the flame burning for decades – Glen E. Friedman. He spent years keeping the Z-Boys story alive through his self-published books and magazine features. His first book was published in 1994 and featured iconic photos of the Z Boys, hardcore punk bands, and hip-hop groups. But it was...
He met up with Paul Schmitt who helped hand out promotional flyers. They came across Spin Magazine’s booth and, not thinking much about it, dropped off a flyer. To Michael’s surprise, he was contacted by Spin asking if he would just focus on the Dogtown and Z-boys story. He respectfully declined since he felt that skateboarding shouldn’t be divided...
But the idea of Hollywood being first to create a film on Dogtown & the Z-Boys did not settle well with Stacy Peralta. As we all know, Hollywood has a habit of misportraying subcultures, so if they were first, it wouldn’t have been right. Stacy realized he couldn’t do it alone, so he approached Vans and received $400,000 to make a documentary. Fast...
In the early days of Dogtown, professional skating wasn’t a thing, and there was no real expectation for anything more than what it was. It wasn’t the children of royalty that cultivated the sport. It was the ones you would least expect to amount to anything that became the most of it. The rebellious outcasts became the visionaries whose story woul...

Apr 29, 2014 · Dogtown and Z-Boys is a 2001 documentary about the revolutionary Zephyr skateboarding team of California in the mid-1970s, narrated by a stoned Sean Penn. I should say for legal reasons that Sean Penn was not necessarily stoned during the making of this or any other movie.
