Hello all I grew…
Hello all
I grew up on 165th street and the grand concourse
in the bronx and we played skulley every day. I’m
fairly sure we pronounced it skulley, but skelley
could have been it. My favorite caps were made
from the bottom of school chairs. It was a real
labor prying of those rubber fillers with the nail
in the middle, but well worth it.
In fact today, I popped open some beer bottles and
melted crayons to make some caps to teach my 9
year old son and 5 yr old daughter. I found this
sight looking for refresher on the rules. I
remember us starting from a start lines outside of
the skulley board and then working 1 to 13 forward
and then backwards and then we were crowned or
something and could really kick butt at that
point. I would love to see the full rules posted
and variations from different neigborhoods would
be cool too.
take care all
