Who is Steve Caballero?

Steve Caballero is a Californian skateboarder born in 1964 to Mexican and Japanese parents. He turned pro in 1980 and continues to skate professionally to this day. His favorite playgrounds are bowls and vert ramps. Steve Caballero's career is remarkable: he invented numerous tricks (such as the Caballerial and Frontside Boardslide), became world champion in vert and street skating in 1987, and was named Skater of the Year in 1981 and 1984. In 1999, Thrasher magazine awarded him the title of Skater of the Century.

Steve has been riding for Powell Peralta since 1984 and was part of the legendary Bones Brigade team alongside Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, and Nicky Guerrero. He is also the first skateboarder to have a signature shoe model—the iconic Vans Half Cab, which is still being produced over 20 years later. Steve Caballero's skateboards are often adorned with a dragon, a nod to his Asian heritage.

About Powell Peralta

Powell Peralta is one of the pioneering brands that has shaped and continues to shape the history of skateboarding. Based in California since 1978, the brand is a union of skills between George Powell (an engineer who made his first skateboard in 1957) and Stacy Peralta (a professional skateboarder). Powell has always stood out for its spirit of innovation and is one of the few brands to own its own factories for the production of decks and wheels. Powell's graphics, such as the Ripper or the Dragon, are an integral part of skate culture.
