Handwritten on the back of the photo, "Rollerblade-- Messing around (L to R) David Miles, Suzie Tignor, Keith Presting and James Johnson having fun a top of the Embarcadero Freeway." Photo shows the four blading on the upper deck of the abandoned Embarcadero Freeway, the Bay Bridge in the background. The man on the left is bent slightly and holding the hand of the woman who is in a similar position as they skate forward together. The man is wearing spandex shorts, a tank top, sunglasses and a sweat band. The woman is wearing leggings, a stripped t-shirt, and eyeglasses. The man on her other side is also wearing spandex shorts, a t-shirt with "PowerBar" on the front, and a skate helmet. The man on the far right is wearing loose fitting stripped pants and a t-shirt.
