About This Video

In this video I get to hang with Al Coker from the Texas Skateboarding Museum and we go deep on Sims Skateboards history—like the kind of old-school rabbit hole I never get tired of. Al walks me through how Sims helped shape skateboarding from the early days, from those original pintails all the way into the wild era of warp tails and even 8-wheelers (yeah, for real). It’s one of those “you had to see it to believe it” lineups that makes you appreciate how fast skate tech and shapes evolved. We also talk about some of the key riders and eras tied to Sims—Brad Bowman, Christian Hosoi, Jeff Phillips, and more—so you’re not just looking at boards on a wall, you’re seeing the timeline of skateboarding itself. The big takeaway for me is how much craftsmanship and straight-up innovation Sims brought to the table, and how that legacy is preserved in a place like the Texas Skateboarding Museum inside Guapo Skateboards in Dallas. If you’re into old school history, this one’s basically a skate museum field trip with a killer guide.
