Enormously popular along with skate shoes

Dozens of new manufacturers sprung up and skateboarding entered its third wave of popularity. Numerous vertical champions emerged including Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Lance Mountain and Neil Blender. In the street, Mark Gonzales, Natas Kaupas and Tommy Guerrero took the ollie to new heights. Freestyle skateboarding was also a part of the scene and Rodney Mullen dominated all competition.In the mid to late 1980s three main manufacturers handled most of the Skate Shoes market-Powell Peralta, Vision/Sims and Santa Cruz. Board royalites and contest winnings escalated and some pro skaters pulled down earnings of ten thousand dollars per month.

By 1983, skate manufacturers like Santa Cruz, Powell Peralta and Tracker begin to see the sport on the upswing. In that same year, Transworld Skateboarding entered the skate scene.By 1984, vert riding took off, followed closely by streetstyle skating. Launch ramps became popular. Powell Peralta created the first .Bones Brigade skate video thanks to the highly creative talents of CR Stecyk and Stacy Peralta. The video featured all the team skaters and helped to propel skateboarding to new levels of popularity.

The National Skateboard Association, headed up by Frank Hawk, held numerous contests across North America and eventually throughout the world. Skateboard shoes from Airwalk, Vans and Vision became enormously popular along with custom skate shoes.Towards the end of the decade, skateboarding shifted focus to street skating and vert riding became less popular. A number of pro skaters decided to leave the larger manufacturers and start their own skate in Skate Shoescompanies. One of the first skaters to do this was Steve Rocco who started up World Industries. Over time, the personality of skateboard world changed and new school skateboarding was born.
