Older skater Guys & Punk ass kids BS thread

Also those might be stage 1 Indy’s.

 

man trying to remember...151's indy's?? I remember I wanted the wider stance ones (161?) but being 13, I could not wait for the shop to order them in.

 

I would need a closer picture with a measurement to be sure. Hard to tell the difference between stage 1 and 2.

 

Nice!Are those the original first Independent Trucks?

 

That’s what i just thought.Haha!

 

Pretty sure they are stage 1. Have to look at them from the front.

 

Yep the “Hanger” if my wording is correct.Those looked like 1’s.

 

Anyone else ride Thunders back in the day? I still have a set kicking around.

 

I actually had a girlfriend that lived on Teal Marsh Dr. (Fun side story: I lost my virginity on Teal Marsh Dr.) I remember an old foundation (or some big spread of concrete) out in the middle of nowhere near the tidal back basins (almost to Folly Beach). All kinds of stuff built out there to skate. My friend Rhett lived right by that place.
There was also the "Junkyard" and "Junkyard 2: Electric Boogaloo" out behind the fire station on Sullivans Island. I probably needed 2 tetanus shots from skating (and falling) out there on all that junk!

 

Here’s my re-issue cab I use as a cruiser to and from class

 

Just picked up one of these.

 

Very nice. They reissued the wheels as well. 90a durometer likely feels good on your warm climate roads? Up here on our shit roads I like to ride an 82-85a on my cruisers.

I also have a longboard for cruising with 74mm wheels and a Cadillac Like 78a durometer. They are like butter

 

These are some wheels I used to ride. The Road Rider 4 were my first wheels

 

It's definitely a little rough on some roads. Feels good on fresh paved roads for sure. But I really like the hardness of them and they're a little easier to make slide around or actually play around on if I end up taking a little detour to/from class.

No one my age really knows what this deck is, or what any of the decks in this thread are. Kind of a bummer. But I have gotten a few thumbs up from some professors which is kind of cool.

 

Damn, this thread is active...!

Update on the dislocated finger: It kinda hurts, but then again if it didn't hurt, it wouldn't be fun...



Might try to take the kiddos out to one of the local parks this weekend.
Only downside is they usually just buttboard around for about 20 minutes and then get bored and want to go play on the playground.

Still, I may get a few runs in and it's exercise so worth it!

 

Dang dude, that's sick! Do you have a portfolio or something online? Or one of them new fangled instapound things?

Very cool tattoo style you've got. That design would make a sweet patch, amiright @ODNAREM?

 

X2!Agree!

 

So I’m Sure Some Of You Are Familiar With This Magazine.Well It Started Back In 1993.I Have Several Issue’s Stashed Away Somewhere And I’ll Be Finding Them Because I Have A Story To Share For You All.
This Particular Issue (#69,2011)Was The Last Of My Subscription After My Experience In Which I’ll Explain Soon.I Just So Happened To Come Across This Issue A Few Minutes Ago Discovering It With Some Other Non Related Skateboarding Stuff.
“Juice”Magazine Is And Has Been A Continuation Of What “Thrasher” Magazine Originally Was(Paperback Etc.).
I’ll Follow Up Soon Because It Was Quite The Memorable Experience And This Thread Has Inspired Me To Want To Share!

 

LOL, trying to make a play on words... Instagram...

The long story short is just about anything can be made into a patch. All it takes is money to get a run started and someone who is familiar with the process.

I haven't been doing it too long so not trying to sound seasoned and wise...

I do want to do some skate related designs but I need to decide on where to begin. Not sold on doing the "Indy kook" one since it's not original and I don't want to get accused of biting somone else's work.

I'll send you a PM man and we can chat about it. Also @ODNAREM, you need to PM me so we can work out the details for a slate sesh and/or wheeling trip when you're put here in AZ. I have 50/50 custody of my kids so the sooner I can make plans, the better...!
