Original 1960s Roller Derby sidewalk skateboard, featuring a red-painted wooden deck with white stenciled. Branding, mounted on sturdy steel roller-skate style trucks and wheels. This is a genuine early production model from the dawn of the skateboarding craze. The Roller Derby Skate Company, based in Litchfield, Illinois, was one of the first companies to mass-produce skateboards in the United States.

However, before skateboards there were scooters, sometimes known as kick scooters and push scooters. Varied forms of scooters have been traced back to the early 1900s, most of them made from wood, metal, or a combination of the two. Scooters had anywhere from two to four wheels. Some of the wheels were metal and others were similar to the wheels on pedal cars. In the 1940s and 1950s, crate scooters made popular sidewalk vehicles. Most crate scooters were handmade.

Moving ahead, in 1964 surf and sailing entrepreneur Hobart “Hobie” Alter joined forces with Vita-Pakt company to make a line of Hobie skateboards; the Hobie line also sponsored several contests and professional skaters. Later that summer, the musical group Jan and Dean performed Sidewalk Surfin. On Dick Clark’s. An event which helped further popularize skateboarding with mainstream society.
