What?? I'm innocent I tell ya. INNOCENT!! Well I'm not guilty this time! 
I love your skateboards!!! I'm one of the "older" crowd on here, TikiTiki room, but I actually used to TRY and skateboard back in high school! I say tried because I used to date a skater/surfer and tried to learn a few things from him.E ven though I'm right handed, I used to be a goofy-foot, so it was interesting that I even learned anything!! Thanks for starting this thread...brought back memories of when I wasn't afraid to try new things!!TikiTikiRoom wrote:I'm realizing now that a lot of folks on this forum are part of the.....err....well...yeah, the "older than me" crowd. But I don't think that should affect the enthusiasm I have for skateboarding, most notably of the old-school variety. Did any member here skate back in the day or possibly still do? Went to go see the new Bones Brigade: An Autobiography film the other night and loved every minute of it. Really lit a fire under my butt regarding skating more and just generally enjoying life more.
Here's a pic of my current setup:
The board on the left is a 1989 Mike McGill deck that I snagged for $30, the center board is a Chris Haslam pool deck that I painted and re-gripped. it was too small for me so I ended up bumping up to the board on the right. It's an AntiHero Generic Series Retro Board with some Indy 169's and OJ Hot Juice wheels. Carves like butter and has a really nice surfy feel.
Sigh...
