turning 40

[replicant]

nice man, I have a penny deck I think they are called. Its a remake much like that
knew you were older but not that old you old fuck

wasnt my first board but close to it (second or third)


my first real board

We "Elder Statesmen" have to stick together. Can't let these young punks try and run rough shod without respecting history! And I am definitely an old fuck.
I rode other peoples boards until my friend got a new complete for his birthday. So, he sold me his Roskopp 1 for $20 which became my first "Pro" model board.
It was kitted out like the Max Headroom deck with lapers, copers, nose, tail, and ribs as well. >_<! It had Gullwing trucks and OJ wheels. Broke the Gullwing
trucks inside a month so I bought Trackers and broke them inside two months. Bought Indy's and have never looked back. When I finally took all the crap off
of it except the rails the world opened up in my skating. Too bad I snapped the deck doing a Boneless over a little red wagon. Went to the local skate/surf shop
back then and bought my first Powell-Peralta deck... Also, love the D.R.I. sticker on the deck above. Skateboarding also introduced me to my love of Punk music.

My first pro model (had it in white). Yeah, I remember putting all kinds of stuff on that thing so it would last longer. Took all of it off soon enough though. I rode Indy from the beginning, stuck with it ever since. I remember breaking a lot of kingpins though. Happy times.

HAHA old school here; first board was a NASH redline; second was a Mike McGill board made into a wall clock i got 75% off just cuz it had a hole in the middle of it for the clock hands.. now that is old school ghetto!

McGil was the first pro I saw. It was cool he was like the paid headliner demo guy at a vert contest. He wasn't in the contest but skated a few runs. You think your friends are "could be pro" material and then you see a pro. It was stil McGill tho, left wanting someone else. Stupid shit I was, would love to see him skate now. It was just like the old videos with mass crowds on both sides of the 16' wide by prob 12 tall ramp. Good times

I fact I got it on VHS tape, not him but the contest and practicing
