Skateboard tricks.
Dogtown and Z-boys.
Dogtown and Z-boys is a film based around the beginnings of skateboarding. I've never seen it but I feel it's relevant to a project based around skateboarding.
Dogtown and Z-Boys is a 2001 documentary film directed by Stacy Peralta. Using a mix of film the Zephyr skateboard team shot in the 1970s by Craig Stecyk and more recent interviews, the documentary tells the story of a group of teenage surfer/skateboarders and their influence on the history of skateboarding culture.
Much of the archival footage used in the film came from teenagers who wanted to be a part of the Z-Boys group but were not good enough skateboarders so they got to be a part of the Z-Boys group by filming and photographing them.
The film's $400,000 budget was financed by Vans, Inc., whose skateboarding shoes Stacy Peralta had been paid to endorse during his days as a professional skateboarder.

Rodney Mullen...
From the list of pro skaters I found, Rodney Mullen seems to be the one that stands out most and has come up most frequently in my research... Here is a bio I found from a fan page.

Rodney Mullen is widely considered the most influential skateboarder in the history of the skateboarding. The majority of ollie and flip tricks he invented throughout the 1980's, including the flatground ollie, the Kickflip, the Heelflip, and the 360 flip are regularly done in modern vertical and street skateboarding.
In 1992, alongside Steve Rocco, Rodney Mullen created World Industries. Throughout the 90’s Mullen was featured in numerous videos, including World Industries’ Rubbish Heap (’89), Plan B’s Questionable (’92), Virtual Reality (’93), and Second Hand Smoke (’95). Some recent videos include the Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song series, Globe Opinion, and Almost: Round Three.

Skate brand logos.
A selection of my favourite skate brand logos. Ones that stand out to me as being well considered and nicely designed, often with interesting or nice colour combinations... However black and white seems to be a running theme in skateboard company logo design.
