Huntington Beach Skate BBQ Grind.
Surprisingly enough, some of the best skate contests take place in someone’s back yard and not in a convention center. This low key skate contest / party took place in Huntington Beach California. We were surprised to see well over 200 people of all styles there. There were rockers; hippies, bikers, musicians, Chicanos, Asians, peckerwoods and you name it, IT WAS THERE!
The sweet smell of hamburgers, hotdogs, beer and colitas filled the air. It was quite an illusion to see suicidal skaters pull off dangerous stunts, some nearly killing themselves. We tip our hats to every brave ass skater who risked his wig, especially the stuntman who skated off a 15 foot high roof and into a 12 foot deep skate pool. That bad man nearly broke his tail bone in the process.
And just when we thought we'd seen it all, this brother fly’s out on his board like superman WITH A BEER IN HIS HAND! ........Damn bro never in our lives had we seen anyone pro skate while under the influence!
Only in beautiful California will anyone ever see something like this. So attention world, plan out your next spring break vacation over here. Life’s too short to wait any longer. JUST DO IT!!!!

Skate Board History
Skateboarding first started in Southern Califonia in the 1950s, when all surfers got the bright idea of trying to surf the streets on wheels. No one really knows who made the first skate board.
California kids would dismantle the wheels off regular skates and screw them onto wooden boxes, but as the years passed they eventually found that rolling in a board was much more fun. Kids became masters at skateboarders as they grew into their teens and adulthood. It is very common in California to see adults on skateboards. With age come greater experience and a seasoned skater knows his board like his own family.
