#5: She Was a Skater Girl
This contributor is so sweet as they speak of their uber-cool mom. They openly acknowledge that skateboarding is hella hard, but there’s momma! Looking as cool as a cucumber and doing it on one foot, with bare feet! We have to agree that this is crazy impressive. Most people would be flat on their faces.

Skateboarding, originally called “sidewalk surfing,” became incredibly popular in the early 60s but suffered a decline in interest after a few years. However, the early 70s brought about a revival thanks to an upgrade in the materials used to make new boards. Not surprisingly, it was most popular in California due to its close similarity to surfboarding.
