Street Skating
Pre Roller Derby Daze

The Skates were on 24/7 which lead to some
interesting but not so safe ideas......

Up and......

.......Over

On the streets of the San Fernando Valley,
Los Angeles

Jumping at 40 mph

After skating the Blvd's, freeway skating
was the next, illogical step...

Entrance to the Ventura (101) Freeway in Los
Angeles

Entering the Ventura Freeway

Notice the cars in the background keeping
their distance

The skate wheels would become too hot to
touch afterwards and got grinded down quickly

The 18 year old driver of this car, Rick
Margolis, became an attorney

Rick got ticketed and eventually would no
longer toe, so.. had to find someone else.......

A frickin' Olds Station Wagon with woody
side panels. As long as it could do 70mph....

Scotty's Freeway skating only lasted a few
months as eventually the drivers were getting traffic violations

The skater (Scotty) only got a pedestrian
ticket

Always hoping we didn't have to brake
quickly

Happy to be alive!

All due respect to Billy Marshall, but at 65
MPH, THIS
is HOT WHEELS! Smoke-it!
