    Nice deck! I wish they'd re-issue Lance Mountain's Future Primative decks. Those were NICE.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    Well, go to Chick's Sporting Goods and buy a complete deck for 20% off. Mine, after everything, was just over $140.

    Why would you want an 80s deck?

    Because things were much less complicated back then!

    All we had to worry about was inflation and the red scare!

    Some months ago I was taking a stroll on Santa Monica pier late at night and I saw this old, psuedo-homeless guy with a near-mint condition old-school Vision Mark Gonzales. I was like holy shit that's a near-mint condition old-school Vision Mark Gonzales. Now methinks it was some kind of reissue?

    If it was the original, he might have been able to sell it for some food and a place to stay for a bit

    I quit skating back in 1988 or 1989, and those were the decks that were around. I tried skating on some of the narrower boards with the tails on both ends but it didn't seem right. I have to retrain myself and then get into the more modern boards. Besides, the deck I had back in the 80s was a Caballero (The dragon with the rectangular border).

    Animal Chin!!!! The street part with Tommy Gurero(sp) was the best!!!!

    The Bones Brigade videos were the shit!!! the late '80s was the greatest time to be a skater

    Hey Cree? Was that the John Lucero deck? Had one as well... Think it's still in storage...

    I saw a mention of "The Gonz". He has signed with Adidas skateboarding. His shoes kind of have an '80's flare to them.

    I think it was cant remember, snapped that deck in half on 1/4 pipe wipeout. It had an elephant on it and was sweeter than fuck. Im pretty sure the guy was a European skater. The 80's was the best time to skate, I can say that cause I skated in the 80's (1983 on) and stopped around 91.

    Sounds like a Lucero... My last deck from the '80s... :cool:

    Picked up a Birdhouse Tony Hawk steet deck in '01.

    I stopped skating hardcore in '92-The year I discovered snowboarding... Now only skate around in the summer, to keep the legs in shape for winter.

    Man, Im just starting to get back into skateboarding. I used too for a couple of years, then I just kinda stopped. But now a friend of mine just got into it and wanted me to show him stuff. Now I want to start again.

    Is it drilled for the new truck patterns?
    I have an Emek T.S.O.L. board and the current Indy trucks I could find were drilled for the shor pattern. I was able to locate some no name set with both pattern.
    Nice board.

    If anything, the boards nowadays are easier.

    Although I like having wider trucks (149s) and softer wheels. I pretty much cruise the strand or ride it to the liquor store.

    Me too. I prefer getting wrecked in a field of powder as opposed to a set of stairs.

    I bought an Animal Chin shirt a few years ago online. Brings back the memories :)

    I completely stopped skateboarding once I started snowboarding. I skated for about 3 years in all my spare time basically every single day. I was pretty good but I burned myself out of it. After I was done, the Tony Hawk videogame came out and suddenly every little kid and his grandma was buying a skateboard. My city only had one crappy skatepark when I skated and now there are at least 4 that I know of.

    I hate the whole skatepark/snowboard park thing. I would have killed to have all the skate and snowboard parks now that kids today have. We had Burnside, but I was a little young for that at the time. It's not a safe place for the younger crowd. Now there's a fuckin' bajillion skate parks here, drives me crazy. http://www.skateoregon.com/

    Plus I loathe all the annoying little poser kids and their youtube videos ;)

    I had to put curbwax all over any ledge higher than a normal curb. I used to build my own ramps too (often only to take them apart the next day and build a new one)
