More info / History & Photos BELOW:Roller Sports was our sponsor when we skateboarded across America in 1976. They supplied us with ProLine “Lexan” decks, RSI Trucks... and precision bearing Stokers. I remember the owners Bill Buffington and Dana Hafke telling us the Lexan was supplied by General Electric.They gave us all the gear we needed, $500 to start and promised us $500 each if we finished. We were almost out of dough when we reached Minneapolis, so they wired us $500 more. Mr. Hafke met us when we finished in Williamsburg, Virginia and paid us…man, we thought we were rich!We then drove down to their headquarters, which turned out to be a roller rink in Jacksonville, Florida. We spent a couple of days skating Skateboard City, Kelly Lynn was ripping. After our Florida visit we drove across the country to skate at the newly opened Carlsbad skate park.MORE PHOTOS BELOW:
