you know zephyr shirts and it was just they had to like just take over this freestyle you know routine uh identity of skateboarding 360s and daffies and they came in and was doing birdlemans and shredding around the course in san diego that was an amazing moment and then when the music came in 1980 and then we started to be the pros basically that's when the changing of the guard happened i turned pro in 82 and then you know it changed so fast the the
Equipment, wheels, trucks, all that was changing so quickly.
The boards, the board shapes.
And, you know, really was so fast in changing.

1980, it was like boards were all 10 inches wide.
There were no narrower boards.

It went from, you know, your 70s, 360s to...
You know, the Logan Erskies and then, you know, I think that the Z Flex, the Dogtown, you know, those guys were holding on to like neighborhood localism.
You know what I mean?
The Bob Biniacs.
I mean, Paul Constantino, Jim Muir.
