no Sigmund, either.

“stoner Gen-Xers who rollerskate” is quite the niche market.

Grew up watching Kroft Super Shows. My wife and I just got into roller skating after going to a roller disco drag show. Haven’t skated since HS and lovin’ it! No, we didn’t pick these up…. yet.

I suppose those of us who watched those shows c. 1970 aren’t much of a market for roller skates these days. Now if someone painted up a Bugaloos-themed guitar, I’d be tempted.

More specifically than psychedelic, I would say that they are heavily influenced by the work of Peter Max.

Seconded.

I’m glad they got the stamp of approval by Sid and Marty, but I’m more concerned that they get the stamp of approval by Sid and Marty’s lawyers.
