The Hollywood 16th Hollywood High features two staircases: a 12-step set on one side and a 16-step set on the other. Legendary skaters who are brave enough to climb up these massive steps and transform the world of street skating call these stairs home. On these steps, everyone who was somebody wanted to do a trick. The first ones to do it were the locals who could afford cars with 4-wheel drive, because otherwise you'd get stuck halfway up. In the 1990s, skateboarding became more popular than ever before. Many new tricks were invented, and some of them required big jumps. It wasn't long before people started climbing these stairs to film themselves doing their favorite tricks. Today, there are still people who will pay hundreds of dollars to ride down these stairs in front of thousands of people online! The first stairway was built in 1980, and over time it became known as the "12 Stairset." At first, only local celebrities and famous artists were allowed to climb these stairs to do tricks. But soon anyone who had money and wanted to make a statement did it here - including some very famous names such as Tony Hawk, Eric Koston, and Dave Mirra. As time went by, more and more tricks were discovered and more and more people began to climb these stairs. In 1997, a 16-step staircase was added to the park so that even more people could enjoy street skating.
