Thank you for watching. I truly appreciate the support. Let me know if you have any questions about the build. I’ll try my best to answer. Keep Pushing
@@206dave4 outstanding! I’ve given a few as gifts over the years and it never gets old. I recall on a previous comment that you said you had a rather large collection of decks. I’d love to see some of those if you care to make a quick video.
@@Daddy_Reissues my collection is 353 decks deep, then I have some doubles and about 15 setup as riders, they’re all on a shelf in my spare room, I wouldn’t even know how to video them all, I’d have to lay them all out in my backyard I think, I have a slideshow up from a while ago with some of my collection on my channel
Spectacular job on that whole set up. For a second there I thought you put Powell Mini Cubics on there but then I heard your run down. Superb job on that grip too.
I’d like to see both of those builds. I also have trouble figuring out what my next build will be. I’ve got a red Cab Chinese dragon and a blue Vallely that I’m deciding between. I just need a set of trucks and I’m ready. I appreciate the comment, Keep Pushing
I remember when this deck came out, I still have it. Real cool but I don't remember anyone putting all that plastic on their board in 1988? Seems like more of a early/mid 80s thing.
You’re right about that; I mostly remember these having the gorilla ribs and maybe a tailbone. I recall some of the magazine ads around 88-90 charging a premium price to add all of the extras to a complete, almost doubling the cost of the board. I always wanted to get one of those true completes back then but could never afford one as a kid. I was happy to get a new deck and add some old trucks and coned out wheels to it and push on. I only knew one guy who was able to save up and get his with all the plastics. He ordered the Jim Thiebaud SMA, and spent nearly $180 with shipping back in ‘89. Double kicktail boards we’re getting popular around that time as well. I like the added benefit of preserving some of the main graphics, especially since I ride most of my builds. I’m not exactly what you might consider skillful at skateboarding. Some days standing without falling is a challenge on its on. Great comment bro, got me thinking.
Brother, where ever did you find blue tail bonez?! I'm skating one of Mike V's barnyard boards with shark wheels/avenue rpk and my options seemed to be black or white
I’ve been collecting parts for a while now. Most of these I’ve found on eBay, but you have to be quick. I saw some different colors available about a week ago. They’re getting pricey now that there aren’t many around. I’m surprised that Powell and a few other companies aren’t reissuing them yet. A missed market for sure. Thanks, I appreciate your question.
Sweet board. Jealous of the setup for sure. I’m not going to knock you for his last name but man that’s tough to hear someone butcher a true skating legends last name.
