There were a few kids named Stacy, Tony, and Jay. These three were really good friends. They lived in California near Venice beach. These three really liked to surf. They would meet up at the dock and go surf. Then one day the local skate shop owner Skip called them up. They went to Skip's skate shop called Zephyr to see what he had to say. He told them about these new polyurethane wheels that he received and wanted them to try them out. The boys all put them on their skateboards and went out to skate. The way the new wheels were they could carve the pavement like they could carve the waves. This completely changed the way they could skate. This made Skip decide to make a new skate team to add to his surf team. Since they were skating for Zephyr skate team they decided to call themselves the Z-boys. The Z-boys went out and started winning competitions as a team, but shortly after they started getting big the boys wanted to get bigger and bigger. They all tried to get into the spot light, but there was only room for one of them, and there was a really big championship coming up. The boys thought that this would be the best thing to see who the best was. Halfway through the championship Tony got into a fight and was sent to the hospital and this halted his skating career. Stacy went on to win the championship. This was the turning point in his career. Stacy got the money and kept skating like the other two, but something else happened in his mind. He wanted to be the head of a company, so he went out and made one. Powell Peralta. If you know anything about the skateboarding world you would know this was basically a summery of the movie Lords of Dogtown. I highly recommend you watch this movie.
