Steve Holt's role inventing the sport of skateboarding with a pole (Part 1)
Steve Holt shares the earliest prototypes and decision process as he tinkered and innovated to discover the most important attributes of specialized gear for use when poling on a skateboard. While testing his prototypes on the Huntington Beach boardwalk, he discovered the need for light weight, flex and strength in the pole as well as carving trucks and springs for foot comfort. Along the way, he formed a deep friendship with all the gear guys, who have made attempts to take this new sport as seriously as he does.
