Barefoot boarding seems really perilous.

That little bit of pudge that Patti McGee has? I'm gonna call that a spare skateboard wheel. I want to kiss it.

TIL extremely skilled skaters are just skaters that are perpetually about to fall over, but don't.

No, no, no. This is all wrong. Everybody knows Tony Hawk invented the boardskating in the 1990's.

It annoys me when people say that, Rodney Mullen created probably 80% of all tricks. Rod is God.

Brilliant balance of skill, athleticism, femininity, sexy and still, she seems innocent. Even from that angle, in those shorts.

Instead of being commended on their obvious skills, most of these comments are about their looks. Sexual objectification in a nutshell.

Why can't girls do something as unsexual as riding on a wooden plank on wheels without being fawned over. They're boarding. Get over it.

They're good fun photos of something you don't see everyday, from a time when many people here weren't even born yet. Get over it.

The '70s female fashion sense and style totally need to come back. Awesome!

What, like, tshirts and shorts? Pretty sure that's still a thing (and what most of these are).

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

elements of 70s style are definitely on trend right now. Just from these pictures, floral printed shorts and boxy crop tops are in style now

I've been seeing so many girls in high-waisted short shorts lately.

Not that she isn't pretty or anything, but... this girl sort of looks like Jake Gyllenhal in drag.

12 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 7

Are you saying Jake Gyllenhal isn't pretty? He's the prettiest girl this side of the Mississippi.

12 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

So does Maggie Gyllenhaal.

There's a documentary about this. That was basically how most people skated, until skaters as we know them showed up and changed everything.

12 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Link? I love the modern style, don't get me wrong, but I'd be down to see a revival of this graceful stuff too.

Probably talking about the Dogdown documentary. The movie was Lords of Dogdown but the Documentary is Dogtown and Z-boys

I'm going to be honest, I can't tell if she's falling or owning.

Owning. The force of the turn holds you down.

In 78', My 36 yr old mom and I skated. Even, at 7, I knew it was cool she skated. Her original Alva deck is probably worth 1k. She's 74 now
