This Is Roller Skating

This is an instructional booklet entitled "This is Roller Skating" produced in the late 60s/early 70s. It's full of handy-dandy tips on how to roller skate like a champion. The cover appears to have been run over by a roller skate, so it appears someone learned some skating skills!

See all the pages (and skate) after the jump.
