Gregg Weaver
Gregg Weaver (born January 9, 1961) is a skateboarder who was a part of San Diego's famed skate scene and one of skateboarding's early superstars.[1]: 44 During the resurgence of skateboarding in the early to mid-1970s, he was one of the most heavily photographed riders being a favorite subject of both Warren Bolster and Art Brewer.[2]
When Skateboarder Magazine was re-issued in 1975 (after 10 years of being defunct), Gregg was featured on the cover of its inaugural re-issue, and the magazine used to receive more fan mail for Gregg than any other skater.[2] Gregg was nicknamed 'The Cadillac Kid' on account of his sponsorship by Frank Nasworthy, who owned Cadillac Wheels.
Gregg now lives in Huntington Beach, California.
