I Wish I Was Alive In The 70's

The Skateboard came about in the 1950's by a number of totally rad surfer dudes who thought they'd use a board on wheels to practice their surfing technique when the waves were too small. It became a shit hot trend, and reached peak popularity in the early to mid-60's. Sadly, the board bummed out shortly after this peak - numbnuts of the world dropped the Skateboard and picked up a Hula-Hoop instead. Not even kidding. Enter Californian beach bums, 1972ish, who picked up the thought-to-be-long-gone fad again and got fancy with making Skateboards. The rest is history.

I'm in love with the 70's Skateboarding Era. Look at how serious but chilled these dudes are!
I wish I was alive for this...
