Like TheJab, I'm a skateboard geezer also. I still remember the day I first say these new wheels everyone was talking about - Road Ryders. I think this was about 1974 or so.

At the time, we were riding on what we called 'clay' wheels, that would flip you off on any small imperfection of the roadway.

Next was pools! We scope out abandoned houses with pools and ride all day smoking our $10 a 'lid' pot.

Here's a picture of me in the day with my little sister.

Note my cool wallabie earthshoes (what a geek!).
