    Today we look at some of skateboarding's most interesting stories. Skaters who defied all odds to get where they are today, skaters that bowed out gracefully, people who found weird and whacky ways to market themselves.

      I must say that in the 80's era after the premiere of Back to the Future. Lots of guys must have started skating. You have to make a video about the movies that popularized skateboarding or that at least incorporated it. Love the channel ! God job !

    That Cab Propeller Skull board was never released in 1980. Until 2005 when they only made 500
