Man, this is awesome. The pictures from the 70s look like a great time and the new pictures with the same people still look like a great time. This is hopeful and fun. Loved it.

LOL: "Gathered together in Golden Gate Park on a recent Sunday, the aging skaters — most showing up on eight wheels — shared so many great Skate Patrol stories that an HBO prestige television series seems inevitable."
