Does anyone know where in VB this was filmed? I have lived here since 1980 and I can't recognize the location.

Yeah it seriously is surprising how much skating has changed

[blkhawk60]

good too see stuff back in the old days.

cant imagine skating without ollieing O_o

Imagine going to one of these contest and just popping something easy like i dunno a kickflip? infront of a crowd who thought it would be impossible to ever get off the ground without ur hands on a board

[yotomrocks]

I wanna go to a contest today and do these tricks just to see people's reaction! Lol

I've been watching this while listening to my Itunes playlist; would love to mash it up with some different music. Awesome vid!

@RetroGoop I thought hip hop was created in the 60s?

[vondutch1962]

this is very cool footage thanks for sharing, i skated a park in norfolk back in the mid 70s does anyone remember the name of that park? it had a great snake run that dumped into a big bowl

@itscoldinminnesota How can it be surprising, Look how much Everything has changed since 1965, Tv was mostly B&W in '65 with 3 channels, no answering machines, cell phones, no seat belt laws, no internet, no man on the moon yet, no punk, rap, hip hop, new wave, heavy metal music yet, Everything has changed, why wouldn't skateboarding which at the time was only a couple of years old?
