Description: The 'skateboarding is not a crime' motto has become one of the most famous expressions — and stickers — in skateboard history. Skateboarding has always been a city sport that interacts with architecture, buildings, urban objects, landscapes, and spaces. As skateboarding increasing in popularity, skateboarders faced curfews, prohibitive legislation, and bans from public areas. Soon, tickets and fines were soon being issued across America and Europe, and police officers and security guards quickly became skateboarders' worst nightmares. After the introduction of no skateboarding legislation, skateboarders were suddenly regarded as common criminals, getting harassed and having their boards confiscated.
Description: Skate Rags was a Southern California based clothing company that operated from the mid-1980s to early 1990s. Their tagline was "To Fit and Survive" and as such, marketed their apparel as being a bit more durable, though not sure if that was just marketing bs or if there was any truth to it, I just know my SR gear didn't fare much better than any of my other stuff. Nonetheless, Skate Rags had some cool designs and built up a great following, but as the skateboarding landscape changed in the 90s, they struggled to find their place and folded. Their team riders included Mike McGill, Tom Groholski, Monty Nolder, Sam Cunningham, Ben Schroeder, Mark Partain, and Rob Mertz, to name a few. Rip it up!
Description: Whirlin' Wheels Skateboard Park was located in Escondido, California at Felicita and Centre City Parkway during the height of the '70s skateboarding craze. Compared to other parks of the era, Whirlin' Wheels was pretty basic in its offerings and as such, didn't stick around nearly as long as some larger parks with more skating terrain and diverse entertainment options did.
