These photographs of people in New York City were taken by Bill Eppridge in the mid-60s.
"While the concept of
the sport and makeshift models of the skateboard were introduced
sometime in the 40s or 50s, it was in the mid-1960s that skateboarding
truly flourished and Eppridge was there to catch it in all its glory for
a lifestyle spread in LIFE Magazine.In his series titled Skateboarding in New York City,
Eppridge exhibits the joy and excitement of zooming down a city street
and playfully riding past pedestrians on a thin, wheeled board, as
clearly evidenced through the skateboarders' beaming faces." (ModernMet)
