Hi Skateland Skaters;
I skated at Skateland in the 50's and 60's back then I was called Tiger. Skated freestyle, took lessons from Frankie, Skated 6 days a week, school took second place to skating at the beach. Back then most of the skaters were older then me, I started in 1 star class on sat. mornings. Loved to skate sessions and speed around the sailors. George the floor guard would give me a timeout, for speeding. The best time in my life as a kid.
