The area that produced such legendary skateboarders as Steve Caballero and the late Tim Brauch keeps rolling. Circle-A Skateboards at 108 Paseo de San Antonio is a good place to pick up a deck. And even with the region’s gloriously warm weather, ice skating is also deeply embedded in our culture. The San Jose Sharks play at San Jose’s SAP Center, while Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi grew up in Fremont and Rudy Galindo trains and coaches at Sharks Ice San Jose. Olympic medalist Debi Thomas—the first African American to win a national championship in figure skating—grew up in San Jose, and the Five Skaters Art Piece in Guadalupe Park commemorates Peggy Fleming, Brian Boitano, Galindo, Thomas and Yamaguchi.
