Team Goon started in 1997 as a way to present an element of skateboarding that seemed was getting pushed aside back then - vert and pool skating. The other ingredient to it's creation was that the music that had crept into skateboarding was not Punk rock.
The name Team Goon goes back to 1984 and comes from the name that was given to Sunday Punker baseball. Punks that were part of the Fullerton Punk scene as well as members of the bands that called Fullerton their home like DI, Agent Orange, The Adolescents and Social Distortion made up the crowd that played on Sunday. The name Team Goon soon became synonymous with hanging out with friends, fun and athletic activity.....and of course the party's that followed the games. The Team Goon name was adopted into our skateboarding activity to provide linkage to the old school Punk scene and would serve as a basis to not let the old skate styles die.
The website www.teamgoon.com was started as a way to present the old school style to a new generation of skaters and never had any intention of being more than that. A lot of old school Punk bands like D.I., The Skulls, The Adolescents, CH3 and Agression to name a few, really liked what Team Goon / Big Wheel Media was about and became early supporters of the project. From there the response to what we were doing was overwhelming. It then evolved into a media company of sorts as you see it today where we perform photo shoots, provide content that is syndicated, documentation and historical archive as well as video services.
The Team Goon / Big Wheel Media staff goes out and covers many shows and major skate events, as well as places that they were skating and put it all in the news section on the web. Soon the news section was seeing 500,000 plus unique visitors a month to it. This site is a genuine mix of music and skateboarding that will entertain you for hours.
