I nailed it ;-)

They made a comeback as I got my daughter one when she was a kid. Not sure how long that comeback lasted though.

It's 1974 in Minnesota, me and my friends would go out to do some bumping also called hooking. Ski off the bumper of a passing car ride it for 4 or 5 blocks and then catch another bumper for the ski back.
