SKATEBOARDING!!!

While it wasn't invented in the 80s, it certainly hit a boom then. That can't be denied. Tony Hawk was everywhere and skateboarding movies were all over the place. If you weren't punk, a Valley Girl or a surfer, you were probably a skateboarder. I think it's safe to say the movement had it's first good start in the 80s.
Tony Hawk was in both of these!
