This is a program from the 1975 Hang Ten World Pro\/Am Skateboard Championships. It would have set you back one buck in 1975, or about $6 and some change at the time this was added to the gallery. There were four events: speed racing (pros only), freestyle, head-to-head slalom, and the cross country \/ obstacle race. This program is slightly over 8’5 x 11″. The cover and interior pages are all glossy, slightly heaveir than typical magazine stock. This program comes from the collection of Mark Conahan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
