Your 1st Skateboard

What was the 1st custom / complete skateboard you ever had? Mine was a Powell Peralta Tony Hawk, the one with the funny shaped nose, medallion design on the bottom. I had those old school Spitfire wheels / bearings and Independent trucks. I don't have an old picture of it but it looked look kinda like these.



I remember picking everything out at the skate shop with my Dad, who told me he couldn't afford it and that I would have to work hard to earn it. I did all kinds of chores and for Xmas they surprised me with it. Still to this day, the best gift they ever gave me, ever.

 

My 2nd boart looked like this....

 

Like these?

 

Lol After the Veriflex or Nash boart you 1st discovered skateboarting on. I'm talking about your 1st "real" skateboart.

My buddy was all about those Alien Workshops, I think they had one called an "everslick" or something? Thing slid for days lol.

 

Yeah my 1st boart was actually too big, so I ended up going with the smaller decks, so I could flip them a lot faster.

 

We used to build ramps all the time. Some good, some not so good. The best I built was a quarter pipe. I went to school with Jeff Lenoce back in the day and he had ramps at his house and a mini-vert in his back yard that we skated on all the time, then we went to different schools and he went on to skate for Birdhouse, and ended up giving it up in the end when I discovered surfing. Now I just have a Carver that collects dust, need to break it back out againe.
