The CalStreets No Skateboarding BYLAW 5798 Sticker is now bigger and bolder in a 3″ x 3″ size. Born from the old North Vancouver sign posted near CalStreets in 1978, this sticker is part skate history, part local rebellion, and part proof that skateboarding outlasts bad ideas.

When Rick Tetz opened CalStreets in North Vancouver in 1978, the city dropped a “NO SKATEBOARDING” sign right out front like it was going to scare everybody straight. Instead, Rick did the most CalStreets thing possible: he took the artwork, flipped the energy, and turned it into stickers, hoodies, shop history, and a rolling middle finger to anyone who thought skateboarding was just a phase.

Four-plus decades later, skateboarding is still here, CalStreets is still here, and this sign has officially gone from “warning” to “badge of honor.”

The CalStreets No Skateboarding BYLAW 5798 Sticker is back in a bigger, louder 3″ x 3″ size — because apparently one tiny sticker was not enough to properly celebrate a bylaw that tried, and failed, to stop skateboarding.

Four-plus decades later, skateboarding is still here, CalStreets is still here, and this sign has officially gone from “warning” to “badge of honor.”

It’s part local history, part joke, part collector piece, and 100% proof that skateboarding was never the crime — boring signs were.

CalStreets – Since 1978

Born in the golden era of urethane and rebellion, CalStreets Skate Shop opened its doors in 1978, carving its way into Canadian skate history from the heart of Vancouver. More than just a shop, CalStreets became the west coast’s skateboarding nucleus—a place where riders, rebels, and innovators found their tribe.

Back in the day, we weren’t just slinging boards—we were official Canadian distributors for the biggest names in skate history: Powell-Peralta, Sims, Santa Cruz, Alva, Dogtown, and Brand-X. If it was iconic, we had it first.

At the center of it all is Rick Tetz, CalStreets’ founder and lifelong skater. Rick rode for Hobie and Sims, earned 3rd place at the Oasis World Freestyle Championships, and took 1st in Canada in 1980 for Freestyle Skateboarding.

Rick also managed Skateboard World Skatepark in Burnaby, one of Canada’s original skateparks that helped define the country’s skate culture. Rick’s legacy isn’t just carved into the pavement—it’s built into the DNA of the shop itself.

From the early days of fiberglass decks and backyard ramps to today’s resurgence of reissues, surfskates, and fingerboarding, we’ve always stayed ahead of the curve.

And if you ever dropped by our shop in the heyday, you probably played a few games on our original Black Knight pinball machine—a staple of the shop that’s eaten more quarters than any snack bar ever could. It's still here at CalStreets HQ, and yes, it still works.

We don’t just sell gear—we live and breathe skateboarding. From freestyle pioneers to street soldiers, bowl carvers to vert chargers, CalStreets has always been more than a shop—it’s been a launchpad for legends. Our team riders and local scene helped shape Vancouver’s skate identity with a DIY spirit that still fuels every session today.

Today, CalStreets lives on through our brick-and-mortar location and online under the BoarderLabs banner—serving collectors, skaters, and culture junkies who know that the real ones never left. Skater-owned. CalStreets – Holding it down since 1978.
