Skateboard Hero
Each time an airborne skateboarder spins 360 degrees before landing back on the pavement, one of Steve Caballero’s contributions to popular culture gets replayed. Caballero got his start in 1976 when skateboarding was being reinvented in the parched pools of drought-plagued San Jose. Sponsored by age 15 and turned pro in 1980, he racked up championship titles and aerial ramp records throughout the 1980s, inventing and perfecting the “Caballerial” skateboard trick at Winchester Skate Park in Campbell. A member of several San Jose punk bands, he’s also been a video game character, a Vans shoe promoter and an action figure.
I agree with A4B on this I have been respectfully asking for more trail access since 1988. I don’t want to ride every tral just more equitable access
Please do some actual research when writing articles about conflict on trails in Marin. I did. I filed a freedom of information request asking for the incident log for Marin County Parks. In five years of data there was only one reported conflict between mountain bikers and any other user group. That was two young boys who spooked an untrainable horse, irresponsibly loaned for a fee, with zero safety protocol or procedures. The same stable that rented Coco the horse, is owned by the head of the Marin Horse Council. Nona Dennis now the head of the “foot people” is also the president of the Marin Conservation League, the most anti bike organization in North America. Please stop perpetuating the hatred of mountain bikes that is coming from less than a dozen individuals. Some of whom own a stable that relies on exclusive trail access for horses on PUBLIC land. Public land that all of us pay for that does not have parking or any facilities for hikers or mountain bikers. We are being robbed of public space that we call contribute to and the Pacific Sun can’t even be bothered to verify the facts on the ground.
