I read most of it and will actually go back to finish. I love it because it is a well written piece highlighting something besides all the promotional crud that is shoved down our thoats. I skate and write about things that are forgotten in the mess and this piece will hopefully measure up completely once I finish it!

Nice article, Vicki. You got the good info and you sold it like the way I told it two years before: The Salt Creek Crew had it "hand's down" over the "Lords of Dogtown."
I want to thank you for writing this excellent article, and it's great to see my old buddies' names, and getting the recognition they deserve. I was glad to be a part of making this article one that will last a long time and educate old and new skaters and surfers worldwide.

Great story. I saw Skitch here in FL back in the day. Way before I even heard of the Dog Town BS. The guy who really invented the Ollie was highly influenced by Skitch and that is how skateboarding got to the level it is today, by skaters who were rarely heard of or seen back then. Skaters who were more interested in skating and less about getting in mags and making $$$. People who loved to skate and maybe (do I dare say) didn't even surf. No one I knew or skated with ever wanted to meet Alva let alone be him. Sorry for the short rant.
All the best Skitch!

First off I'm a surfer and grew up in the 70's and the only crew we ever heard about was Dogtown, sorry but thats the truth. Tony Alva was the man that ever person that skated wanted to be at that time. If you had a Hobie skate board you were nothing, you had to have the Alva board period. So sorry Skitch but I never heard of you and you might be great in your local area but you will never be the DogTown Z-boy crew, its just the way it is sorry! Didn't they make a animation movie about you? I think it was called Leelo and Skitch. I still see Jay Adams surf here in Hawaii and he rips. Keep off the LSD and congrats on your article in OC weekly!! You made it man.......

It is about time that Skitch Hitchcock is getting his due. Skitchy is the God Father of modern skateboarding. His designs carefully drawn on a brown paper bag were stolen with no credit or money given more than a few times.Skaters! Skitch invented and then reinvented and then reinvented again the trucks ,the wheels,the deck... the entire package .He is the evolution. Shame on those that became very wealthy ripping him off. From dropping into an empty pool to inventing the ramp... a ramp that has moved from skating to morph into the snow boarder 's half pipe, Skitch did it first and did it better... and if that is not enough: Skitch has been a stylemaster supreme spending decades longboarding at Lowers on big south swell summer days.
