Maximilianus Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The US went through a few mainstream skateboard phases, one was in the 60 when boards looked like this [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V-Y3OPYoKqQ/TW4a6DGTLMI/AAAAAAAAE48/1Xqhp5qASwg/s320/Black%2BKnight%2BSkateboard%252C%2Bcirca%2B1960.gif[/img] then the craze died out until the kids in Socal (Z Boys etc.) used innovation to style skateboards to fit their style of riding and they turned into something like this [img]http://api.ning.com/files/0RjHaQlXJUTUAmfd5VUtl9tG4W5vNecLzehfLOB3vBwpjUhCIj42zX8MSabd9Po3/1970sWoodenProClassComplete001.JPG?width=737&height=552[/img] then the craze died out and reemerged again in my era, the mid to late 80's. Remember "Gleaming the Cube"? Skatboards were massed produced like crazy and had all kinds of themes from designs from pro skaters to pop culture like Max Headroom. Tthey looked like this [img]http://images.quickblogcast.com/1/7/5/4/6/273562-264571/010.JPG?a=11[/img] The belly of the board had all kinds of guards on it [img]http://images.quickblogcast.com/1/7/5/4/6/273562-264571/047.JPG?a=54[/img] Seems appropriate for me to end the timeline here.

AnneLine Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Papist... I broke my right arm the FIRST time I tried riding the twin of your prototype scateboard.... never had much desire to get on one after that.... As far as the games, what about these: [img]http://denverlibrary.org/files/clue.jpg[/img] And then there was mousetrap... in and out of the box[img]http://www.awesomehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/mouse-trap-game-box1.jpg.pagespeed.ce.65Bask1nvN.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.awesomehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/mouse-trap-game.jpg.pagespeed.ce.KlD9J6epsV.jpg[/img] [url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B001PC4XSW/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous"][img]http://coolmaterial.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/board-games-1.jpg[/img][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilianus Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I had mouse trap, I don't think I ever played it the way that it was intended to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Was anyone is scouts or campfire? I was in Campfire as a girl, and was a Girl Scout leader in the 80's --- liked Scouts a WHOLE lot better... but this is some of the campfire stuff... [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zYBysM5KV_o/R54E1EIOgoI/AAAAAAAAAgU/6IURdG26kF0/s400/Camp+Fire+Girls+book.jpg[/img] Any ex campfire girls would remember these... and know how much work they represent! Each of those beads could easily represent 10-30 hours of time... and each color represented a different area of knowledge/service... I probably can remember them even now...!
