1965 Skate Film: Skater Dater

Old, Old school

This is the first skate video I’ve ever seen that is older than I am. Steel wheels, bare feet, headstands, and slick hair. Would love to see the rest of this flick.  Quote from YouTube:

"I first saw this in 1967, when I was in first grade, as the opening feature for a Saturday matinee in my Midwestern hometown. This film influenced a lot of things in my life. It started my lifelong love of surf guitar - this theme has been running through my head for forty years, though I’d only seen it that one time! It also got me into skateboarding (steel wheels, baby!)"
