How About Oak Street Skates?
There have been a few 70’s era adverts we have not included because they were products that had no skatebording in featured in the ad or were not skateboard adjacent. Oak Street, however, also sold skateboards, but for whatever reason chose not to feature that in this ad.

Shortly after a bad fall going down a steep incline, only addition to the skates that I made was to include a heel stop on my left skate. On Hilly grounds, It came in very handy as toe stop led to a disastrous fall that took a lot of skin off my left knee. I still have the skates
