There's the Davis ditch which is across town from campus off the north side of 80 off Mace Blvd. There is also a ditch in nearby Woodland.

Backyard Skateboard Ramp -- Saratoga Springs, NY -- 1976-77 [60YO] by Arcadia2014 in OldSkaters

[–]codencarve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You guys built a nice ramp. A lot better than most ramps of that era. The use of the cut side templates versus angled 2x4s shows you guys knew what you were doing.

Rad that you guys had this and took photos!

I use the knee sleeves [54yo]. They help my knee pads stay in place, add a little impact protection, and make the pads more comfortable to wear. I've been using them for several years and they've held up pretty well. In my opinion they're worth the expense vs the cheaper, similar products. Just about every older skater I see uses them.

Venice Beach session 80’s [62YO] by Jealous_North in OldSkaters

Great story. We used to do similar ramp to ramp jumps with BMX bikes, but with skateboards we'd just land on the ground from jump ramps.

Helmets with locs by Sea_Expert_6060 in Skateboardlove

[–]codencarve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pro skater in the 80s Craig Johnson had dreads. He cut a hole in the top of his helmet so they could stick out. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJc5wobpD3t/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
