hahaha holy shit it sold for $550 I think I got mine for $60

with the trucks wheels tail pad and curb hoppers rail guards and nose guard hahahahahah the thing musta weighed 50 pounds. Great for bombing big hills

Here goes:

1) I've built several launch ramps, one quarter pipe and two half pipes. I also built a couple ollie boxes and miscellaneous things.

2) Honestly, I never broke any decks. I was pretty smooth back then and never really landed hard enough to crack a deck.

3) I used to be a big fan of Caballero's board... that is until I got sponsored. When I did, I used the company's decks and trucks. I can't remember the wheels, but I think they were slimeballs (although I can't guarantee it).

4) I was never arrested but did my fair share of running. All the good spots seemed to be on private property so we'd have to sneak under gates or over fences to do our thing... that, or just skate late at night.

5) My most serious injury from skating happened at a contest. In between the different groups, they would have what was called "Free Skate" where everyone just skates until the next group starts up. Well, I was getting ready to slide the handrail they had there and the dude in front of me fell and didn't get his board in time so when I landed, his board came up and smashed me on my knee. I went to the hospital and it was sprained and I was on crutches for maybe a week. Even afterwards, it took a while to fully heal. That shit hurt like you can't imagine.

6) I was sponsored, but still an amateur because I was never paid. I was just given free gear like decks, trucks, clothes, accessories, etc...

7) The raddest trick... that's a tough one. I remember doing frontside rail slides down handrails. That's when they were first hot and not many people were doing them frontside. I also had some pretty sweet style on the launch ramp. I remember being able to do different 360 airs (like judo or madonna's).

8) I could never do an Ollie Impossible.

9) Back in the day, yeah... skating ruled my life big time. I invested a good part of my younger life involved in the whole lifestyle of it. Those were some of the best times I ever had.

10) No I do not still skate. I would still love to, but I'm way too heavy and just not fluid enough to do it. If I had to, I could probably still get on a board and bust an ollie kickflip, but it would be sketchy as hell and there's no guarantee that I'd land it.

I think Mine was red and white stripes but iot was very much like the one in the middle

broke my arm twice once at derby and once on a rock also hit my head pretty hard in the 70's when I hit a rock after charging a big hill on my plastic bannana board ! Concussion

i have a friend who lives in FL who does a traveling Tattoo Art Show/Museum with decks at art galleries and sometimes skateparks...he has hit most of the major US cities and has been all over Europe with it...if there is a deck out there he has it and believe it or not depending on the condition/rarity of the deck they go for wayyyyy more than $550...the show brings back a lot of memories...

awesome I can get this for $5 that kicks ass

I was pretty hateful when I was a teenager. I hate the skateboarder clicques in school because they're always at my face and they always seem to be where they weren't supposed to be.

But I really dug these group of roller chicks who came to school with rollerskates, wearing miniskirts that let you peak on the hot pants that they were wearing (sorry no panties) underneath.

One time, one skatergirl came to me with a piece of tuna sandwich. Since I was unpopular in school, I smelled a prank. I was about to eavde her when this skater dude came around at my back and pushed me on my side. I didn't know what hit me when I found myself going down on the concrete floor.

My mind was racing as I hit the pavement on my face. I broke my nose and stars had appeared in my sight. But my hands were quick. My left hand slid into my satchel bag and grasped my cutter. In one fell swoop, I slashed the first figure who approached me. To my surprise, it was the skater girl with the sandwich. I had lacerated the back of her heel so deeply, blood gushed like a stream. She yelped and bawled out so loudly that the prinicpal came running. He swore like a sailor and put me on detention for three hours.

Soon after, the skaters and skateboarders stopped harassing me. They never laid a finger on me afterwards.

I just love sharp things, don't you?

what a great thread.

makes me want to go out and put my wheel scuff marks all over something.

Ahhh I love that board!

Dang, like I said in the first post, these things are almost like artwork......

Tempted just to buy to display somewhere.

I mean the generations before us collected Baseball Cards as memobrila for the special years of youth, for us I think Skateboards were that special moment..

Some of these decks are not far from being artwork.

Over here in Portland at the Homegrown Video Studios (portland branch) I know Tom has some kick ass old boards.

They display them like a museum of sorts.. They were more freestyle boards though as I recall. The new generation.

But it was still cool.

Like I said, these decks are like artwork.

Madrid Flys Baby!!

Not sure how that name just poped into my head, but I had those too!

Exactly..... No skate parks back then.. Only could dream about em. They didnt exist! Up here in Oregon and Washington anyway..

Cali yeah.. But not here..

We could only dream...

Now the city pays for em!!! They are all over!!

Looks like the skateboard kids from the 80's grew up!

And work for city planning!

Bow to the Power!

I love it!

Jesus Christ man.

WTF.......

Not sure where you lived man. But the skaters were the losers here. They werent the rich kids..

They were the mid to lower kids..

I couldnt afford the Brand name Converse growing up and had Volume Shoe source generics.

Wasnt till I started getting older when I could mow lawns and shit for cash that I could affrod the skate shit.

I dont recall the rich preppy kids skating?? Maybe towards the end of the fad.. But damn dude.

WTF!

Internext Vegas 2007..

A booth should have a Half Pipe.

Have us old fat dudes try hitting it up like we did 20 years ago.

Now that would be entertaining and fun to watch.

I dont remember Duane Peters..........

Strange.........

I remember the SanaCruz thing.. I had the stickers and shit.

But I dont recall that board? Local thing?

When I was about seven years old my family was living in Flint Mich. My older sister was a big fan of the Beach Boys and had all their records which she listened to constantly. I became interested in the whole california beach bum lifestyle and dreamed about surfing like I had seen in those Elvis, Gidget and Ride the Wild surf movies.

One day we were at the local five and dime store and I saw one of those skateboard things I'd seen on tv and I begged my mom to buy it for me. It was made of white pine and had two big green bare feet painted on the deck and it said hang ten. The wheels were metal and the trucks had little or no adjustment.

I took it home and started to ride it on the sidewalk in front of my house. Soon all the neighborhood kids gathered around and we all took turns trying to make the little turn at the bottom of this little hill. NOBODY could make the turn as the metal wheels wouldn't grip and you would slide into the grass. The other problem was the wheels had a very hard time going over the seams in the sidewalk and it would often catch, sending you over the front and flat on your face. Catch a little rock under the wheel and you get launched.We gave up trying to make the turn and just cruised around sidewalk surfing. The big trick back then was walking the board lol.

That was the first time I stepped on a skateboard and the year was 1965.
A lot of things have changed since then but the stoke remains the same

So did three guys in a convertable ever chase you around the town square? Did you get away by making them crash into a truck full of maneur? ;)

Someone would get hurt in a pipe at our age and time off the board. Maybe a small street course?

to this day thats the only kinda shoe I buy

Vans????

They make Vans Dress shoes?

Sweeet pic brother :thumbsup
I used to skate back in the 80's. I could never do anything crazy but i would still skate lol. My dad used to rent out a spot to a skate shop back then 2. So i would get everything at cost and one time it rained pretty hard the roof started leaking. Alot of gear and clothing got messed up so i ended up getting all that gear. :1orglaugh
Thanks for the flashback :)

Contest history

Most of these boards I know from the design. You could blur out the names and I bet almost ALL OF US could say what it was.

Pretty funny.

thats the first board i ever owned.

ive got a boneite caballero in the garage.

its amazing that deck is in one piece. :1orglaugh

I never pushed the wood. Or maybe I did. But if I did I don't remember. :(
