Rite on!
My first real deck was a Simms screamer. Remember that?
I ended up loving Natas Kaupus when he came out. Could Ollie so high with his decks.
I've bought more Santa cruz bullits than any other deck though

the jim phillips screaming hand, classic..

I broke my wrist when I was 12. Skateboard career over!!

Im like that with roller coasters & crazy rides like that , i rode one once & it scared the hell outta me , thats all i needed to know & stick with the kiddy rides , i used to play hockey & speed skate when i was young , never got into the whole skateboard craze .

Guys guys guys. Although trackers were "ok", independent trucks were the only trucks for me.

Indy's were popular as shit in my town too.

I also rode big wheels. 72mm. I liked ways fast bearings too. abec 5

I really want to get an old school deck/bigger trucks again.
I have a couple newer Santa cruz decks, wit 159's? Indy's. I will break my neck one of these days on them boards. Oh yeah, old school board with bigger wheels.
Just a little pebble fucks me up on these new setups. Well that, and I'm about 100lb's heavier than when I use to shred. lol. Actually more like 75 lb's

Until I fucked my back up. Skateboarding was my life. It was my transportation, it was my self expression, it was everything. I still longboard to the liquor store almost every other day, but I'll never have the coordination I had when I was a young'un. I fucking hate being old.

I know where your comming from , i played leage ice hockey up into my 30's & was heavily into amateur competition speed skating in the 70's & havent been able to do either sport in allmost 30 yrs , i really miss skating .

I put a pair of skates on in my late 40's & tried skating with my kids , after about 5 minutes my legs were on fire & i couldnt walk or sleep right for weeks , lesson learned , now i just watch hockey on tv .

I hated getting old too , its even worse once your done getting old & your just old , i hate it !

I remember GIRL decks were what you wanted around 95-96. That or Maples.

I feel you boss. Even on my long deck, I get winded in the first 4 pushes. Good exercise but my body just won't allow it. When I get back froma beer run, I ache. And, not just like....oh bummer, my back is tweaked., but like daaammmmmmmn it hurts everywhere.

should get some 169's.. look into elephant brand skates, it's mike v's co, and he does a lot of older school shapes imo..

You guys should this amazing pic racer showed me of him back in the day. ( I won't post it) but maybe he'll shoot you a link. He's a fucking badass.

Back in the day, we would rip off the coping(grip) from a shopping cart, and fit it to our Indy trucks. To grind them unwaxed curbs. Couldn't do it with trackers.

 

[racerboy71]

i never used them.. used to skate with these two kids from another town, and both of them used them.. always thought they were kind of corny, heavy as balls, and come on, you can't grind without z rollers?
