“During the late1970’s & early 1980’s Arizona actually played a large role in pushing skateboarding to new, and often over-vertical heights. While famed places like the “desert pipes” were covered in Skateboarder Magazine it was always focused on documenting trips by visiting California pros. High Rollers documents the Arizona locals that were pushing the envelope as equals and guiding skateboarding into a new realm of possibilities. High Rollers: The Golden Age of Arizona Skateboarding tells the story of the Arizona skateboarders by the Arizona skateboarders who were there making it happen.”
