So, we're gonna switch it up a little and give some screen time to the skaters. Long before
The Search For Animal Chin,
Shackle Me Not and

Skateboard Madness. In the late 70's, Hal Jepsen took a break from making surf films and focused his lens on the other cosmic children shredding up the pavement, pools and parks of SoCal.
