that thing is dope.

I fucking LOVE that they can put Peralta's name back on the reissues.
I came back from an injury by getting a Vato's Bones reissue deck, double risers, and pool wheels with the intent to basically start over from when I was a kid and relearn everything I never could bring myself to do growing up. I now hang the deck proudly on my wall, but always wished it didn't say "Powell Classic" on the topsheet when I was riding it.
Here's hoping the old-tech deck does for your style what it did for mine, sir.
Mighty fine purchase, indeed.
I think I still have an old thrashed out Welinder and Mullen in storage somewhere. That is a lovely board you have there. Can't wait to see new footy with it. If they still have the old habit (mushrooming and seperating) I'd recommend grabbing a set of tailbones for use on each end as it will add probably 1000% to the life of it from the abuse.
Edit: Forgot on the tailbones you'll need to sand them down so they go flush as they have a tendency to always hang a bit over the rounded edges of the deck.

I just scored a set of Aces for my newest setup, and I LOVE the things. I was on the east coast, at a skatepark a buddy runs, and one of the local pro's and some Ishod Wier guy (HELL of a nice guy, and yeah, I know he's one of the best am's out) got into a convo about 'em. Local guy said they're based on the 80's era Indy design. I love 'em. They're stable enough that I ride 'em looser than the indy's I came off of.
