Back in the days when there were no iPhones, computer games or Guitar Hero, kids went outside to play. In sunny California during the 1970s, the thing to do as a kid was to skateboard.  And do it well. Really well.

Photographer Hugh Holland documented the ‘ballet on concrete’, to created a fabulous book which he has just released entitled Locals Only: California Skateboarding 1975-1978.

Here are some of our favorite images from the book.
