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

    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.

              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..

                  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.

                    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.

                            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.

                                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.

                                              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

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

                                                              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.
