From the lens of Photographer Bill Eppridge and brought to our attention by Retronaut, 1960s NYC goes skating. You get the feeling that someone just pulled up with a truck full of boards, handed them out and looked on as everyone went a little nuts. We can’t pretend we weren’t pulled in by the amazing garms some of these guys are sporting but these images are just about big fun. Respect to all the perfectly turned out ladies who don’t even bat an eyelid as out of control kids hurtle towards their ankles. Images via Life.

Let’s get the facts correct. Some of my photographs were shot in Central park during a skateboard competition. Others were shot on the street in New York City, and others were photographed at Weslyan University in Connecticut during a skateboard competition. No one handed out skateboards to anyone. Nothing is posed.
I am flattered that my photographs are appreciated, but I don’t want it to be assumed that skateboards were provided to anyone because they weren’t.
Cheerz,
Bill Eppridge
