"Honey, don't tell my mom about the skateboard!"

OK, for comparison, this is identical (except for the artwork) to my first Hang Ten skateboard. Man I don't know how we rode those things, but at the time it was an amazing step forward in stability from a 2x4 with a broken roller skate nailed to the bottom. I think it cost my mom $6 in 1964. That was probably about the same amount you'd pay for a 20 lb ham, so maybe $35 in today's money.
