In 1987, a bulldozer moved onto the coastal land north of San Diego and flattened the Del Mar Skate Ranch, one of the most iconic skateparks in American history. This wasnt an isolated incident; during the late 1970s and 80s, California waged a literal war on skateboarding. From sidewalk surfing to the Pool Culture of the 70s, the sport faced a massive backlash from city officials and a devastating insurance crisis that forced many legendary parks to close their gates forever.
In this episode, we explore the hidden history of Californias lost skateparks. You will learn about the Attractive Nuisance doctrine that made skating a legal liability trap, the massive insurance premiums that bankrupted small businesses, and the strange ways some parks were literally buried underground. We also look at how a single piece of legislation finally ended the war and paved the way for the multi-million dollar sporting industry we see today.
