Skateboarding was
having its second growth spurt after being consigned to the fad trash pile
along with hula-hoops and flagpole sitting. With the introduction of
polyurethane wheels, the improved speed and performance gave the sport a much-needed
shot in the arm. The peak was the Del Mar Nationals in California in 1975, the
first national competition held in a decade. At the Nationals was the Zephyr
Skate Team. Their skating style was aggressive, unrestrained, and unorthodox.
Their attitude was in your face and sure of themselves and their skills. Their
story is the focus of Dog town and Z-Boys
