It’s a great thread isn’t it?
First time I ever saw a skateboarder was at Southport slippery slopes, which was a slide park and the old snake run from the ‘70s was inside.
Dude comes rolling down, Walkman headphones on and dressed/padded like that last pic above. I must have been 5 or 6 at the time and that was the coolest thing I’d ever saw. Still quite a vivid image in my head even now.

Don’t know who you are asking but my posts are from photos on my Insta and are either my own, a friend’s called Steve Lilly, one or two from other friends and the very occasional photo found elsewhere.

Everything about this is great
That’s a strong first post! 
Cheers guys, I was no Rodney Mullen but considering the equipment we had back then it was a lot of fun. My first board had clay wheels and individual ball bearings! You had to pack your wheel with grease and place each bearing in, one at a time.
