Born in the 80s crowd (previously known as the 30s thread)

Name something new that isn't a remake... Most things are, even if they don't reuse the same title.

 

This is pretty cool.

 

Look Kung Fury up on Netflix if you haven't already seen it.

Edit: Good lawd that pic is massive, my bad y'all.

 

Kung Fury is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on the internet.

 

You should watch Turbo Kid

 

Will do.

On a side note, is Powell Peralta still in the skateboard business?

Hell yea!!! I wanted a Caballero deck so bad when I was a kid. I finally ended up getting a Santa Cruz Rob Roskopp instead as my local shop didn't have the Caballero deck and I also believe it was more then what I had saved by time I added trucks, wheels, bearings and grip tape.

 

Turbo Kid is awesome. I had to turn off Kung Fury. If you want to go to the source material, check out Miami Connection:

Oh shit....the skateboard scene was so insane. I remember drooling all over my magazines with skateboard ads wanting the Christian Hosoi Hammerhead board SO FUCKING BAD!!!!

I wanted a full time job at age 10 so I could get one.

Watching Hosoi doing huge air and doing the Christ air......SUCH GOOD TIMES AND MEMORIES!!!!!!!




























This was my very first skateboard right here. Christmas of 1986 ...it was what my parents could afford at the time and I did not complain...i didn't give a fuck how much it was, if it was cheap, etc...it was a skateboard and i was a happy little bastard!!!



Then my buddies mom went and bought him this one








Good times!!!!!!!!!

 

I have to say THANK YOU man for throwing this up in here.
What an amazing watch!!!! I have about 10 other friends/family watching this shit and they all agree how epic this show is. I can't wait for season 2!!!!



Netflix once again delivered a nail-biting suspense thriller that has kept fans hooked. "Stranger Things" has gone on to become a massive hit, and fans are clamoring for a second season. In response to this, the show has revealed that "Stranger Things" Season 2 will be a sequel.


Executive producers Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen announced that "Stranger Things" Season 2 will feature the same characters and introduce a new set of characters. There certainly are a lot of questions left, and many of that will be answered as the story goes further in the next season.

"Things end up being resolved to some extent at the end of Season 1, but not entirely. And that's why we're so hopeful we get another few seasons to live with these people a little longer," Levy told /FILM.

Among the mysterious that will be explored is the 30-page document introduced in the first season. More of the contents of the document will be revealed in "Stranger Things" Season 2, especially with respect to where the monsters are from and what their motives are.

The "Stranger Things" Season 1 was a massive masterpiece in itself, with the story focusing on the disappearance of Will Byers and the quest to find him. The day after he vanished, a mysterious girl with telekinetic abilities appears and helped Will's friends find him. In the season finale, when Will returns from the Upside-Down, things turn out great, but not for long. He coughed up some black goo, which indicates that he might have been contaminated by whatever was in that alternate dimension.

In connection with this, creator Matt Duffer said that the effect of this presumed contamination will be explored in "Stranger Things" Season 2. However, although the creators and producers of the show have planned an idea for "Strangers Things" Season 2, a renewal hasn't been drafted by Netflix for now.

Speaking to E! News, Duffer revealed that they will do "Stranger Things" Season 2 if Netflix orders it. "There's the bigger mythology behind what happened, so there's definitely a lot of dangling threads at the end...if people wanted it and Netflix wanted it, we could explore it and continue the storyline."

My first board was a NASH as well. All my buddies had the cool boards, so I started mowing laws, walking dogs, and as many chores around the house to save up for one of the cool boards. Man I recall all the cool skate wear as well. Vision, Airwalk, Jimmy Z, Vans...and so forth. I could never afford the Vision shoes so I always had Van' or Airwalk'. Id be out there in my Bugle Boy pants, tight rolled, no shirt and my Van'/Airwalks trying my damnedest to do cool tricks with out killing myself. I remember having so many bumps, scrapes and bruises from skating....fun times.

 

I had some badass airwalks and some white vans with palm trees and shit on them. Good times. I did the skateboard thing for a while but I really loved my BMX bike. We had a racetrack built (about 20 of us kids from the neighborhood worked on it) in a filbert orchard and we would race all day long. It was a pretty badass track too. It got real popular and kids from 20 miles away would show up and we would race all day. We had tree forts built in the trees that the track ran around where we kept playboys and shit. Then we started doing freestyle on our bikes. Good ole days.

 

The 80's rocked!!!! I had a Huffy with a damn banana seat. My same buddies with the cool boards were sporting GT' and Mongoose. We had some trails in the local bayou/woods, but nothing super cool. Best action we got was back there or making our own ramps and such. Damn, this is bringing back the memories.

Did you have one of these silly bastards? Mine was green just like this one...not my picture.

 

H O L Y SHIT!!!!

My brother and I were talking about our KENT superscooters last night!!! I shit you not!!!

I had that same exact one but red. This exact one

 

Was it that Mother Fucker Shane again? Prick had everything!

I had one. Had so much fun on that thing. Was thinking about it the other day and wished I still had it.

 

My buddy who lived 4 doors down on my street had this fucking bike right here that all of us drooled over. I NEVER saved enough to get a PK. I honestly would love to have one right now as a keepsake.

 

NO....not Shane...fuck that guy

 

Then there's the GT's












And the REDLINES!!!









MONGOOSE

 

I used to have a GT Vertigo and a GT performer. I also had a Kent scooter than seemed to have bigger tires than all the other scooters.
