Were you a SKATER in the 80's?? Great Memories. - GoFuckYourself.com

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:01 PM

Damn.. That was a good time...

Powell Peralta, Vision Street Ware, Madrid, Gator (he's in Jail) Christain Hasoi, Steve Caberello.....

I was just looking at some of the old boards from the day, and admiring them like they were art work.

Good memories.

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:02 PM

Remember these?

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:03 PM

Ahhh Shit!!

The Search for Animal Chin!!

Haaaa!

Holy SHit!

SiMpLe · 08-24-2006, 04:03 PM

Mr. Romance

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:05 PM

Thinking of maybe buying some of these old decks.. Just for the hell of it. Maybe putting em up in the garage or something.

This brings back great memories..

In addition to the Powel Perelta decks, this Gonzo was one of my favorites..

BSleazy · 08-24-2006, 04:05 PM

not really.

08-24-2006, 04:06 PM

Those boards were much more heavy duty than they are these days. I rocked a few Visions in my days. Each lasted a few months without cracks. After I went "new school", i was breaking boards almost weekly.

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:08 PM

Ahh and remember the Independent Trucks!!

What were some of the other names of Trucks back then?

Like Gull wings??

Thunder.. I liked thunder.......

Tracker..

And what seemed expensive, the tracker ultra lights!

Damn man. That was a fucking good time.

Seems like yesterday thinking of this shit.

Jizar II · 08-24-2006, 04:09 PM

I had the Tony hawk board, the white one looks a bit like the one you have with the narrow nose part, cool memories!

Degenerate · 08-24-2006, 04:10 PM

dont forget the slime ball wheels

corvette · 08-24-2006, 04:10 PM

i used to have that tony hawk board, with independant trucks, slimeball wheels

memories...

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:10 PM

What were some of the names of the wheels?? I remeber spending so much time and money on supplies all the time. Knew every product out there.

I remember Slime Balls Wheels. OJ II wheels..

85A, 92 A, and then even 96A..

Awsome for street sliding.

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:12 PM

SLIMEBALLS BABY!!

Oh shit! Here's a name that blows my mind!!

"Kryptonics"

WHOA!!!!!!

Yep. My cousin had that.

Man, I remeber Tony Hawk was just a little kid back then... In that ANimal Chin movie he was like 14 I think.......

And now he's the Icon of the sport.

Unreal.

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:15 PM

Ahhh Gator......

boneprone · 08-24-2006, 04:24 PM

I should go to my moms place and get some old skate pics of me in the 7th grade..

I WAS A SHREDDER........... Got some cool pics.

Aneros Josh · 08-24-2006, 04:24 PM

I skated for 12 years and was actually locally sponsored. I was always a Powell Peralta guy but switched to Santa Cruz in the early 90's. Once everything went to switchstance and I knew I was going to have to re-learn everything ALL over again, I threw in the towel. Funny enough, I went to a skatepark about 5 years later and hadn't really lost much. I can still do most of my old tricks...muscle memory is a hell of a thing

ne0 · 08-24-2006, 04:28 PM

Not in the 80's but some years ago, heh.
The old times looks good, i'd love to be there.

blazi · 08-24-2006, 04:31 PM

never really got into the sport but had a lot of friends who were

webgurl · 08-24-2006, 04:38 PM

i had sk8ter boyfriends and i was trying to be skater ROFL
but I did skate a half pipe though at my all time peak .
Oh and this was in the 90's , in the 80's i was a big fan of
Gleaming the Cube ...

brand0n · 08-24-2006, 04:41 PM

i had every board in this thread. every truck, every wheel

remember swiss bearings?

remember thunder bolts? unbreakable?

webgurl · 08-24-2006, 04:44 PM

I went out with a guy name Jeff sponsored by Eternal Skateboards
when i was in my teens .

MattO · 08-24-2006, 04:44 PM

I've still got a board I bought in '86, a Caballero. Weighs a ton. Still take it to the skate park once in a while, although since my center of gravity is much different than back then I can't skate as well, plus it hurts a lot more to bail now that I don't weigh 110lbs.

Brandon99 · 08-24-2006, 04:44 PM

I had a pair of these! lol

webgurl · 08-24-2006, 04:47 PM

i had a banana board that i rolled around in my kitchen

I have a tat on my left arm - The Alva dreadlock logo. The funny thing is that I never skated Alva boards cuz they would break so fast

SKATEBOARDINGS NOT A CRIME!
