"There's a new terror loose in the streets of the city! Probably the most organized attempt yet by children to dominate the world!"
This 1965 news report in Toronto talks about the new fad coming from California, it's called sidewalk surfing. In the clip CBC's Lloyd Robertson interviews an 18-year-old activist who rolls onto the screen in a dress and bouffant hairdo, if I had a time machine I would probably go back and marry her. The anchors compare 'skurfing' to hoola-hooping as well as make a projection that the fad is already dying out... Oh little did they know!
