I wore hokey elbow pads, knee pads, leather gloves, football helmet and -weather permitting- a denim jacket. Bought the first album of course.
Pads and a helmet? Lordy, we were thrilled to get sealed bearings, and took our own chances after that.
We came back to El Paso in 77 for a few months so my dad could attend upgrade school at White Sands. The complex we lived in had a nice swimming pool, about a 30' decline from four to six feet, and then a 10' bowl tucked into one corner. When they drained it at the beginning of December that year, we'd skate that bastard ... no helmets. That's where I learnt handstands and concussions.
Probably explains a little of my shitposting.
