Thank you to everyone who read yesterday's post on barefoot skateboarder extraordinaire Pat McGee and to all my readers.

| Pat McGee shreded the pound and pounded old stereotypes about women to death back in the 1960's when she became the sport's first female champion. |
Evidently, barefoot was once the ONLY way skateboarding was done in the '60's-its connection to wave surfing had to be respected! Today, it remains quite popular.
"In the '60s, I had a skateboard and did it barefoot. There was no other way to do it - at least nobody would have even considered wearing shoes while doing it. It was supposed to simulate surfboarding - in fact was sometimes referred to as "sidewalk surfing."
