Way OT: Skate Deck Collection

Notebooms, the gator vision board was rereleased i was going to buy it this past weekend but they sold it but the kid told me he could probably re-order another so check with your local skate shop. it was a Black and White deck with "GATOR" in blue writing

 

Yeah, I was excited to see the guy had a Psycho Stick on his wall. My first "real" board was a Psycho Stick MINI(!) with Tracker Ultralights and Kryptonics wheels in alternating colors. You know, the elite 'thanes.

 

I want that one.

 

this thread is KILLING ME!!!
they just built a park walking distance from the shop....its all bowls and concrete mini's...but alas, i've grown rather large and am without wheels. maybe in about 30 lbs my knees wont hurt so much and i can go show these little kick flipping gangster turds about some old school coping carving....

anyone got a bonite per welinder they wanna part with? wide, lite, love the tail....add some indys and rat bones....

nice stuff guys...glad to see someone's preserving some heritage...

what i wouldn't do for my old madrid mike smith in pink...powell rails, nose and tail stuff, indys and big ol soft powell wheels for running the strand...and a bag of *** bolts to replace the ones i always busted off.


as an aside....
with all the retro **** kids are into these days....i saw two kids walking down the street last week with mint condition 'kamikaze' boards (remember those?)...one in basic red on white with black and the other in neon rainbow. they were carrying them, not riding them....all of a sudden i was 12 again.

 

speaking of skateboards and bowls, they are building a new park about a mile from my house. man, kids dont know how good they have it nowdays. i cant wait to get hurt.

 

I wouldn't call my decks a collection really. But I've got a Santa Cruz Rob Roskopp, a Santa Cruz Corey O'Brien, and a Skull Skates ********, all with Indy trucks and OJII's. I don't think they're worth anything though 'cause thry're all thrashed to ****.

You guys have got some cool stuff...
