@SteveCaballaro is such an #Skateboardinglegend that he was inducted into the @SkateboardingHallOfFame in 2010.#Stevie ranks as a #MacroInfluencer though I have always known him as just a #Mega #SkateboardingEnthusiast!
The word "Legend" in skateboarding is thrown around too easily in my opinion, but Stevie Caballero is a true skateboarding legend. That, I know everyone would agree with.
Growing up in London in the late 70's, Stevie was on my wall in an ad, and he was wearing rector elbow pads on his knees. That image is embedded in my brain.
First off, I believe it's safe to say that everyone who rides a skateboard has been influenced by Steve Caballero, whether they know it or not. If you are an old ripper like me, the influence is obvious and intuitive, affecting your smith grinds, boneless ones and, dare I say, Caballerials.
