I had that Ron Allen deck. I liked it. That and the Danny Way model were the only H Street I ever owned.

clevohardcore - 6-23-2006 at 08:55 AM

Wait the Rpn Allen wasnt H Street was it? I forgot. I remember a cpule freinds met him and got high with him.

Dave - 6-23-2006 at 09:05 AM

yup the ron allen was h-street
great deck

clevohardcore - 6-23-2006 at 09:26 AM

the Ron Allen had a kick ass tail to it. Kind of like a normal ALVA where it helped with the ollies and kick flips.

Dave - 6-23-2006 at 09:32 AM

graphics i gotta say that old P&P deck "bones" with the skeleton ripping through, that was hard...i had a blank deck once that rode like no other, like your sisters ride, y'know?

The only board that I ever had that I skated with was a Variflex board. It came from a toystore and it had side rails, nose guard, tail guard. The whole dame thing was practicly warpped in plastic.

I cant remember what the design was, but I know most of the board was white. I never really skated much, but I loved that board.

JawnDiablo - 6-24-2006 at 10:26 AM

I remember having Mike Vallely's first Powell Peralta deck. I picked it up in New York when my dad lived there, and when I brought it back to Canada, where it wasn't available yet, I had people trying to either buy it or steal it from me everywhere I went.

SMA team deck. I used to go through on average a deck a week and then all of a sudden this one lasted like a month and a bit. Poor thing got crushed by a car in the end. However, I would have to say this was my fav. deck I ever had.

Shit this was in 94 or some shit like that, I have no idea why I still remember that.

MM.

JawnDiablo - 6-25-2006 at 09:46 PM

a deck a week...jeez

Gooch - 6-26-2006 at 01:55 PM

Cab- Dragon and Bats

Vallely-World Industries mini (elephant standing on cliff design)

Gonz- early Blind design- had a pic of a fish with wheels. Actually stripped the graphics off this one because they sucked, but the board was awesome.

Jef Hartsel- Industrial size- World Industries.

Sean Sheffy- Plan B- Jungle Book graphics.

Johnnie Kop- Vision

my first board was the valterra splatter paint board from back to the future.

my favorite deck from my youth was the matt hensley king size.

i worked at capital skateboards in college, so from those days, by favorite board was the 1996 team board.
