Cleveland Skateboarding Storytellers - Episode 3: Garth McCallum-KeelerSince the start of Cleveland Skateboarding, I've been on a quest to track the subculture back as far as I can. Who were the first people to make it more than just kids riding around on a toy? I usually get stuck around the mid 80's with the people most of us are familiar with. But that all changed when I met Garth McCallum-Keeler. He's been skating since the 70's and was part of what may be the first generation of skateboarders (of the subculture we know) in the area. Listen to Garth talk about, quite possibly, the origins of skateboarding/subculture that we know it as today, in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. To add...this isn't saying that the subculture didn't start even further back. But Garth is the first person that I have ever talked to that pre dates the older skaters of the area that I knew of. I think you will all find his stories really interesting and entertaining. So give a listen and let's tip our hats with respect to the names that were pushing it back when we were learning the alphabet or before most were even born. These names that Garth drops are the people who may have been the ones to make the first ripple in the pond.
