Skateboarding is frustrating. Any self-satisfaction that comes from finally nailing yr SW-FS-overeasy-LOL-slippydippy-revert-out is sure to be stolen by the revelation that some 9-year-old did it way before you. Such is also the case with skating pooches, including Meaty of Rob and Big fame. Contrary to the image his PR team has portrayed, Meatys predecessor, Tyson the Skateboarding Dog, was not the first canine to hit the grip tape. Nay, this distinction goes to the Evergreen state.

Alvie, an Australian Shepherd dog, was pushing around way back in the 1980’s. He was recently remembered in the 30-year Reunion of the Olympic Skatepark Reuion in Seattle, Washington. (via NWskater)
