The kids in my neighborhood are playing baseball in their front yard or riding bikes. I feel like 1950's America at my house.

Refer to Back to the Future. It's been a tweener thing for a LONG time.

Very similar to my 2nd skateboard in 1978:
My first one was smaller and had steel wheels. If I hit one little pebble in the street, I would be sent head over heels, landing face first on the asphalt of Dan Drive. Good times. Good times.

In the 60's in some areas of the country. Was pretty much nation wide in the 70's.
Next question?

My skateboards were similar to these.
First one, the Banzai, had California Slalom trucks and Sims wheels
Second one, the Logan, had G and S trucks and sims wheels
