HOW DOGTOWN AND THE Z-BOYZ STARTED STREET SKATINGGoing back to the 70's street skating really came into it's own with the advent of the urethane wheel. Skaters were shredding the street worldwide but the energy center was in Dogtown, Santa Monica and Venice, California. As vert took over the skate industry, the magazines, and the attention of the skate world in the 80s, the underground street innovation in Dogtown never ceased to progress. So when vert was replaced by street in the late 80's in skateboarding's collective consciousness, it was Dogtown that led the way as H-Street, Plan B and Blind took it from there and the rest, as they say, is history. This was filmed at a time before small action cams, stabilizers and gimbals. TR took the original follow footage footage angles of the 70's by Craig Halley, and took it to the next level in the 80's streets, with high speed, high risk angles, forming the blueprint of a main angle in skate videos to this day, yet still rarely duplicated.
