I remember the 1970's so well...
So I was going thru some old files and I found a stash of Photographs I took in So Cal in the 1970's...
Time to share.
unknown rider at the Deano Bowl mid '70s...
Tony Alva at the Concrete Wave in Anaheim, early to mid 1970's
A friend of Mine, Danny Hyde, riding the 405 freeway around the south bay curve during the afternoon rush hour...
Then I realized that maybe I caught a UFO in the photo!
then I remembered... it's PROBABLY just the Goodyear Blimp going back to base.
Childhood friend of mine, Glen McCay at the Rock Bowl...
Another friend of mine that eventually became a Powerflex Pro Rider...
Skatopia in Buena Park, Ca
Same guy at an empty community pool in Rosecrans

Life is fun when you are young! Enjoy it while you can. It’s shorter than you realize.
Nice pictures. I wish I had some from those days. The only one I have is my high school graduation picture.
My cousins lived in Orange County at that time and a couple did a lot of surfing at Huntington Beach.
My friend Rick lived in Buena Park. I visited him a few times and got to see a few of my cousins who lived in Fullerton and West LA when I visited. I like California.

Those are good, MSchu. The cutoff jeans (for example) and B&W really give them a 70s feel.
Was it normal to skateboard on the freeway?

Um... not really no.
We were very mischievous.
Skateboarding barefoot is a brave choice.
I always wanted Kryptonics wheels.

Me and my brother...I'm around 17.
Me at a HS grad party with my two best buds. This pic is from 1981, so not technically the 70s lol.
Mickeys big mouth.
We used to use those to make Molotov cocktails to toss around like little hand grenades in the flood control channel behind my house...
Heh...loved Mickey's
My high school graduation picture. 1971.
In Newport, RI, a few of us from high school meet up for the weekly car show. Last week my friend from Chicago was here, so we had five of us there.
Me and my best friend for 55 years. I'm on the right. It's his Aston Martin Superleggera.
