Cool sift! Thanks for that!

The imdb entry for "Skaterdater" sais it was even nominated for an Oscar in 1966 (Best Short Subject, Live Action Subjects)

Soundtrack was done by Davie Allen and the Arrows.

I love how they focussed on what I imagine were hardcore tricks back then:
Hopping off a curb and turning yourself around on the board like you would on a surf longboard...:)

*grindhouse, baby, 'cause I can!!

These were the true OG's.

Hmm... The history of skateboarding is interesting

It seems to have gone through many cycles of popularity, and this was part of the first cycle.
