Can't tell you how many times I busted my lip or knuckles with these dam things! But just couldn't resist the clack!

They were a fall back when I got bored of my stretch Armstrong!

If I ever find my metal roller skate key I will post a video in 4k while dabbing Monkey blood on my wounds.

Back when I was in Jr. High, they came out with what I will refer to as the original skateboard. It was literally a board about 2 feet long and maybe 5 inches wide with the wheels of a regular roller skate.

That created some boo-boo's as well. The sidewalk at the Jr. High building sloped downward towards the street and then made a turn to either left or right. I didn't corner so well, so my skateboarding "career" ended fairly early.

I found an image of one of the originals.

I had one of those but mine was beige color and pointy at both ends.
Tiny rock under the wheel and game over.

I think I've seen modern day versions of these, without the string. Women seem to be entertained by them quite a bit.
