Skateboarding has had an enormous presence in popular culture since luminaries of the discipline like Tony Alva and Jay Adams began piloting plywood decks with urethane wheels over the death boxes of empty backyard pools in the 1970s. The rebellious Zephyr team, based in Santa Monica, California ("Dogtown"), created a cultural crossover, and Hollywood followed the trend with '70s films like Skateboard (starring teeny-bopper Leif Garrett) and Freewheelin' (starring seminal skater and later-documentarian Stacy Peralta, a member of the original Zephyr team).
