It was exciting and interesting to be a part of making LA County

Looking back, it seems that skateboarding was somewhat underexposed and was more of rebellious, counterculture activity than it is now. Back then there were few skateparks and not nearly as many skateboarders. The general public did not like skateboarding and skaters like they are appreciated today. No one had smartphones and that allowed for a randomness and unpredictability in the world that is less common now. Even video cameras were rare. Los Angeles was much less wealthy and not as gentrified and as a result it was a bit more interesting and a lot more affordable. It was a time for skateboarding in LA that was raw, energetic and unpredictable. It seems like LA County captured some of that energy and enthusiasm. Some of the skaters in it would go on to become industry leaders and skateboarding legends. Thank you for watching and to skateboarding. Enjoy.
