golden years

The 80s supposed the birth of the Modern Skate, as we know it today. It began to evolve a lot in terms of material and tricks. The Vert was the most popular discipline, but at the end of the 80s the street starts to grow a lot too.

We can say that the 80s were one of the golden times of the skate. It was the decade in which mythical brands such as Powell Peralta, Vision, Santa Cruz, Independent, etc. emerged

The 80 coincided with the rise of VHS video and the skate videos made the popularity of the skate reach international heights. Bones Brigade, one of the most legendary teams that has been there and whose videos supposed a before and after in the dissemination of skateboarding, has a lot of blame for this. Skate shops proliferate in every city and, with them, a legion of young skateboarders.
