Marin’s Skate Community

May 9, 2022

The community of skateboarders that exists in Marin County often slips by without recognition. What goes unnoticed is the unique creativity, individuality and dedication that is ingrained in the sport. In attempts to shine a light on the skateparks’ culture, this video authentically captures the action.

Dated to 1962, this photo captures Redwood’s front parking lot jammed with cars, a daily occurrence in an era before parking permits. Alumnus Richard Torney remembers the front lot always being full, but there generally was more space in the back lot. “The more studious people seemed to head towards the front lot, and the back lot was where the rebels were. People didn't get caught smoking in their car in the front lot; they got caught smoking in their car in the back lot,” Torney said. In the foreground, a Rambler, a Chevy Station Wagon and a Mercury sit among the tightly packed rows of vehicles. At the time, many students chose to eat in their cars, much like they do today, especially since Redwood had a closed campus policy that prevented them from walking off campus during lunch.
