I used to love...
Christian Hasoi
Rodney mullen
Jay Adams
Jason Lee

For the record I never skated. I had a Variflex board that came from Child World (old new endland toy chain), but that was it. I just hung out with the skaters cause they listened to the good music.

Jay Adams, still skates better then most kids half his age, but I hear he jsut got locked up again for tax bullshit

Jason Lee movie star, but still skates when he has time, no more pro stuff though, I think my favorite shape was a JL from like 90...damn that was a long time age

I had a Jason Lee small bullet shaped deck from G&S right? I forgot. I mostly Alva and Vision for whatever reason. I had so many decks. I wish I still had the broken ones. I left them at my Grandmas the first year of college and my Grandpa threw them out. He said he thought it was garbage because they were broke. I had my old grinded trucks and flat wheels. I kept everything. I was bitter for a long time about it. One of my favortie decks was my Danny Way H street deck. It was the best deck I ever road and it was my last. It was the 1990 model. It had a high tail and big nose. It road awsome ont he street and the street ramps. MAN I MISS THOSE DAYS! Right now I am listening to TURNPOINT. FUCKING A! THIS IS GREAT!

I skated, but like Juan, I sucked big time. One of my favorite decks I had was Mike Vallely's (sp?) first deck, from Powell Peralta. I picked it up down in New York, and I got it long before it was available in Canada. So when I got it home to Canada, everywhere I went people were either trying to buy or steal my board.

Good old times - still have a lot of my (broken) decks - and have a story to each of them. Still have a complete skateboard and ride time by time if my tortured bones allow it. This sport taught me to take pain and to canalize my aggressions- which was a great help true my life.

Child World

First of all holy shit Honus!!!!!!!! I loved child world, man was yours shaped like a castle?? what was that pandas name? damn, now thats some memories right there.

Second, Mullen is the best skater going in my book and has been for years, the inventor of the darkside slide. And I have not touched a deck in years, the last thing I attempted to skate was a longboard, and it got old quick with slow recoveries.
