This is the cover of the audio CD version of Michael J. Fox’s book titled A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future.
Twists and Turns and Lessons Learned. I guess it’s a nod to the fact that his most memorable role was Marty McFly. Back to the Future still gets credit for the skateboard boom in the 80’s.

There are people out there who think hover boards are real. My sister-in-law was one of them until a few months ago. Had to break it to her.

I readily admit that Back to the Future was a huge influence on me getting into skating the following year (1986). Still love the movie!

Too bad that’s a popsicle and not an ’80’s deck.
