Welcome to the forum Jimmy.

I skated for about 4 years at abut the same time as Grant, it was all I used to do. I wuld even
take my deck n holiday with mum and dad.

My first deck was a Santa Cruz Roy Royskopp which is the one with the screaming face hanging
on your wall!!

Grant I was well int New Deal aswell, remember Alex Mole?? Street Skater around that time.

I culdn't skate ramp, but I was ok on street, 360 Kickflips, pop shove its....ahh those were the days

Burnsy,

Another veteran skater. I can 100% say that I dont miss hopping about on one leg every where for 3 weeks from landing a board wrong and going over the ankles which tends to happen when your trying to learn new tricks.

I never owned a Santa Cruz mate but the art was beautiful on them.

I used to love skating, I got a board from my local skate shop just after I left school and used it almost every day for 2 years, I was only street skating and it was my means of transport from 18-20 really

I one night got very drunk and tried to jump off a pavement over a piece of wood and onto the other side, needless to say I hit the wood went straight over the board and hit the floor face first.

I had to take out my eyebrow piercing as I had dirt and grit stuck in the wound in my face and it all got infected...

I don't think after that night I ever stood on a board again :lol:

Amazing collection Jimmy, some of those boards look antique 8) - what's the oldest one there?

Can you do that Nurnsy?

 

[burnsy]

Easy mate....when I step on a board we become one

 

[weasel]

I could well believe it!
I suppose you use your son's stromtropper helmet as well just to make it a bit more difficult?

 

[Grant]

That was awesome mate. 8) I wasnt that good but I could some of those flips and I had no problem with low hand rails that were easy to dismount from.
