The Skaters

Established in California,where the sun actually shiny-so much,in fact, that the 1976 drought left the swimming pools empties of water. But full of kids trying out tricks on their skateboards. The uniform comprised - a beaten up T-shirt board shorts ( a look borrowed from the surfers to whom Skaters one no little debt of gratitude) and flat trainers like Converse or Vans,that allowed them to grip the "Board". The helmet,knee and elbow guards,and all -in-one Nike "Boarding" apparel,are sadly a more modern product of the molly coddle age.
