hey,what about the Block Heads?.

They're driving a Jeep! Thats cool  

[Tallchevy]

I was pretty average.  I got on my nefews board the other day to show him a few things and yeah..... it's been a while.  After a few minutes it came back to me but just didn't seem like I was as good as I once was.

I was average too. I was a street skater, I didn't like vert. I was able to olie up 5 steps, rail slide planter boxes, tail slide curbs etc. Now I stick to the basic olie. I need to be able to goto work now. Not like back then you get hurt & stay home from school. Gotta make that money.

Hell Yeah.   My son will end up a skater too. He has a small one (cheapo wal-mart brand) and tries to ollie like his cousins. He's one 2 so he has no idea what he's doing, just he knows he likes it.   I'll be 31 in two weeks!!!

I've actually thought about buying another. I really don't care for these little tiny wheels they have now though.

That's what I'm saying!!!.Last wheels I had where Bullet 66.It's been about 18-19 years now but yeah man they got these tiny little low rider wheels nowadays.What was the last board you had?.Mine was a hand me down Vision Gator,I wanted a SC Jeff Grosso.

  Man, I wanna be there when you old farts get together and skate   I can't talk to loud though, I was never coordinated enough as a kid to learn (constant growth spurt from age 10-17, shoulda seen me try to play basketball ), and no way in hell I'm going to now


Anyone remember this?

Hey Jason,it'd be more like TRY to skate.It'll be freakin' funny dude  .If it does ever take place I'll hafta let you know...    Hey,what do you think it'd be like for some older cats who haven't skated in 15-20 years to try to skate on the slabs at The Rubicon in September?.

I skated when I was younger (I'm 19 so not the same boards as you guys) but now I'm in to long boarding.  I like to just find huge hills and bomb them on my sector9 with 76mm wheels and some abec5's.  I am actually thinking about ordering another set of long board trucks (probably old school ones like independents) and some wheels then throwing them on an old school styled board just to skate around on and do some smaller hills that I do with my huge board.

Maybe something like one of these boards.

Lol it's a good thing you added that at the end, I was going to suggest Andrew until I saw you already addressed it

Last board was Powell. Don't remember the model but it was cool. I broke it doing a rail slide on a curb and never bought another.

This thread is themed "skateboard memories" or "vintage arcade memories" so here are my contributions.

My first skateboard in the mid 70s (age 7 or so) was the Black Knight running the old clay wheels.


In the old arcade memories, we had a Pong back in the day.

I just know the quick witted nature of most of the people on here.

I'll be 37 the 2 weeks after Marlin. I just might have to plan the trip up there & bring my board to skate the slabs. I had Bullet 66. I have OJ's on my Rip Saw.  Thats what my board is, a Schmitt Stix Rip Saw 

 great idea Peps!! You do it I'll be there to document the entire thing (for educational purposes only, of course ) and to hand out bandaids!  

Thanks BLACKDOG I'll probably need them 

[mudguts]

how about kids variety shows from the 70's...like "The Sid and Marty Croft Super show"  They had characters like Semour the sea monster, Electra woman and Dyna girl  , Oh and Wonder bug. Any others? Oh yeah, the Banana splits remember those guys?
