Vintage Skateboard News Clip- 1975

Thanks to Scotty Starr for finding this clip which features the manufacturing of my character from Rocket 88/5 Summer Stories surftoon on HANG TEN skaters. I had no idea it was floating out there in the universe and 33 years later, it falls from the glorious heavens.

Back then, in Los Angeles schools, they taught you how to skate more safely. Now in Los Angeles schools, they tie you up and take pictures of you while feeding you semen.

I miss "back then."
