T kate boards, c.b.'S, sur oards atpopulariypeak in 1976 When adults look back to their youth they see old-time movies, toboggans, bobby socks, phonographs, and bicy- cling as favorites pastimes. T What will you see when you look back on your youth? ,Will you see the toys of teens that seemed to make life a little leasier? T Maybe the ever present beach favorite - surfing will pop into your head. Or the dozens of times you flipped out on a lwave as big as Jaws. Speaking of Jaws, maybe you'll remember that after the Spring of 75 and the release of the movie Jaws, you may have never again gone to the beach. Plenty of other things could have occupied your time. Citi- zen's Band Radios had spread like measles through the United States. Didn't you enioy saying, This is 'little turkey,' what's your 2O? Or maybe you were one of those lucky ones who received advice to put the hammer down and found a county mounty around the corner ready to make you pay for the advice he just gave you. Again, you may remember other pastimes - perhaps less dangerous. Say you really missed the surfing. How about skateboard- ing? The balance, coordination and guts needed for surfing were now usable with a skateboard. You were much safer, weren't you? After all, you were away from the water. No fun was taken away though. When you fell, it hurt iust as bad. If you were one of those wealthy ones maybe you'd picked up your skateboard and some hit 45's and took a slow ride with Fog Hat in your custom van. The population of custom vans had exploded. Maybe you didn't, but every- one else seemed to have a Good Times, Family Affair, or other popular van. Accessories such as C.B.'s, carpets, speakers, black lights, toilets, and whatever else you hap- pened to order were all included in that latest fling. How'd it feel to ride in style ? But what happened when your only supply of money was dear old dad ? Maybe the famous dirt-bikes slightly cheaper price tag pulled you to numerous motocross races. Did you get off to seeing someone crack up or finish first? Well, some of us weren't so brave. Some preferred to keep up with milder fads such as new leans, clogs and T shirts. Or did you visit the beauty or barber shop for a pair of wings, feathers or wedge? Maybe you bought out the store in puka and tourquoise. Remember when you wouldn't make a move without your mood ring? When you look back on your youth, what will you see? essay 59
