Gold Medal boys sport socks, found at a Goodwill store by MC. Hold on, fits shoe size 3-9??? Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch!

Branding it as a DIY Kit is a genius way to cut costs by making the consumer put everything together, but the display packaging on this is is why you’re seeing it here. This isn’t just any fiberglass skateboard kit, it’s “Top Line.” It even comes with an instruction book, which most kids probably needed in order to figure out how to put together those open bearing wheels. UPDATE: Found an ad for this product in a 1975 issue of Skateboarder. – Thanks to David Maes for the tip. [Source: Ebay]

Grandpa has a long board, and a radical attitude. This is the March, 2017 issue of Prime Time, an Rhode Island publication described as a “contemporary magazine speaking to the mature market, caregivers & medical professionals.” – Thanks to Poeser for the photo.

Sure, Mr. Potao head may be on roller blades on the cover, but there are skateboarders on the inside. What’s the diff? I don’t know, Playskool, you tell me.

This is a Sire records promo photo (technically just a graphic printed on photo paper) for their 1987 Winter CD Sampler. Remember CD’s? Remember Sire? They were sorta cool for a while (Hello! Ramones!) and then not so-cool, trying to distance themselves from punk by promoting New Wave. 1987 was a couple years after signing a distribution deal with Wartner Brothers, which would explain Bugs Bunny. This is sort of a sad, trying-too-hard phase, with Bugs wearing a leather motorcycle jacket and riding skateboard. They made a full color t-shirt of this image too. Interesting that large corporation like Warner Brothers would brave the wrath of Nancy Reagan and mock the Just Say No campaign. Proof positive, once again that skateboarding, and even new wave are a bad influence. – Thanks to Cool Steve for the tip. (No relation to Pizza Steve.) [Source: Ebay]

I forgot where I found this one, but it is clearly a copy of the Lucero X1 deck from 1986. I can’t read the word right under the front truck, but the original deck says ‘Schmitt Stix’.

This is a screen cap from the Apple Special Event where they introduced the new MacBook Pros with the touch bar in October of 2016. Since they have been delinquent in sending me a review laptop, all I can tell you is that it looks pretty cool. I’m hoping they release the technology in a stand alone keyboard for those who prefer to work with double monitors, raised to eye level. Right. Skateboarding is still hip.
