Title: Texas Skateboarding History
Post by: MongoSwitchIsIllegal on February 07, 2024, 01:43:08 PM

I am a skater from Texas, but besides my city's history (SATX), I don't know much of the state skate history... I really don't know where to start. I know Houston has been killing the game for a long time with competitions but that's about it.

Anyone have info/links to help me understand skate history in TX? Thanks in advance.  :)
