Tracking down a mysterious skateboarder from 1979

A photographer snapped a shot of Shaunda Shane skating down her street in Fayetteville when she was 10. How did the world's most famous skateboarder see that picture 45 years later?

Shaunda said she hasn’t quite been able to re-create the freedom she felt on a board all those years ago, although riding a motorcycle comes pretty close. Also, the Fayetteville Observer posted its version of this story last night, which included the new picture of Shaunda riding a skateboard with an umbrella ( you can go to their website to see it). My penance shall be listening to the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 soundtrack for the rest of the day (which I was gonna do anyway).
