Yeah, I miss the good 'ol days as well, fellas! I used to have a first edition Imabeason boards with uberdink trucks and used to put some of that good 3M 800 grit paper on the deck so I wouldn't slip when I pulled an ollie off the trash can in front of the Circle K. :banana:

Sniff sniff sniff...I smell ShiiiiiiIIT talking big time dude....LMAO...good try though....
my crew in NY "Plaid Fish Tribe" and no it was not named after me that was the collective name of the group....I stole the name (or dug it up from the dead is more like it) for my screen name....
anyway we had a saying..."if you're not NOW...You Never where"......all 5 of us still skate (not nearly as much as we used to)........I get some funny looks at eh park cause I just skate the mini now.....I pump around in the vert ramps but lil slash grinds are fine w/ me now......I got called old last week by a lil kid...so I hit the vert wall and got the highest.....it's a tight one too.....
 
You think, Plaid? I mean, do you really think there's a board called I'm-A-BEASON?

Nah, the only skateboarding I did was while being towed behind a bicycle! I was more interested in BMX bikes when I was younger. Had a Redline that I thought was the cat's ass! Never got good at doing any tricks, but damn did I look GOOD!

I have never owned any kind of skater/expensive sneaker up until last summer,when i went and bought a black pair of Vans.The only time i evry bought sneakers i bought them at wally world since i would only wear them a couple times a year. I always wear steel tip boots or sumthing similiar,i have a pair of steel tips brown leather boots that i wear for work and a pair of black leather reg. toe boots i wear out. I would rather drop $150-$200 on a pair of boots that will last me a good 2-3 years of hard work.\

The only reason i got the vans is becasue i got a gift card to Pac-Sun.

I ended up getting the Rowleys...they're just fricken awesome...lol. I've never owned a pair of Etnies either. These shoes are really comfortable too(For skating shoes). I got the "Formula One(Red)/White/Black. Just incase they look huge, they're only 10 1/2s. I don't have a massave foot...yet.
