EDITORS COMMENTS
. This nostalgic print takes us back to a time when skateboarding was gaining momentum as a popular youth culture activity. The setting is none other than the grounds of West Denton High School, where the adrenaline-fueled Newcastle Area Skateboarders competition took place on December 3rd, 1977. In this particular snapshot, we witness Malcolm Bishop from Heaton showcasing his impressive freestyle skills. Clad in arm pads, gloves, knee pads, and a helmet - all essential for health and safety - he fearlessly tackles the half pipe with finesse. The unknown age of Malcolm adds an air of mystery to his remarkable talent. Skateboarding during this era was more than just a hobby or pastime; it embodied freedom and self-expression for young enthusiasts like Malcolm. As they honed their riding abilities and mastered daring tricks, skateboarding became synonymous with leisurely pursuits that pushed boundaries. The image also serves as a reminder of how far we've come in terms of safety precautions within extreme sports. While today's skateboarders still embrace risk-taking thrills, modern protective gear has evolved significantly since those early days. This print by NCJ encapsulates not only the spirit of youthful energy but also highlights the importance of health and safety practices that have become integral to contemporary skateboarding culture. It stands as a testament to an era when these talented individuals paved the way for future
