What do you call a kid who can skate like that?

What do you call a kid who can skate like that? You call that kid a Cracker Jack. I totally forgot about this jingle until I watched the commercial, and it all came back to me. I never saw this particular Cracker Jack commercial, but I remember others with the same song. This series of commercials aired around 1978. Assuming the kid skating is the same one they use in the closeup, someone ought to be able to identify him.

– Thanks to Wes for the tip.

Stills from the commercial.

    Hope John is doing well. John and I were friends when your family lived in HH. Hopefully he remembers me.
