yep, in the late 70's - you need a Harrington, a sweatshirt with a skateboarder on it at

one end and some tassles off a Grifter and some of those glasses that make you able to see people's skellingtons or womens knicks at the other.

For a penalty spot use an old Evel Knieval stunt bike or a crumpled up Death Race 2000 poster.
