Me and two friends ordered some boards from a CCS catalog in 1995. I got a Workshop Spectrum and it was a slick. This weird sports store that was open for about one summer in the tiny town I grew up in was for some reason selling trucks and wheels. I bought these Indy's that had a weird golden orange finish to them. I guess they were pretty old because the holes in the base plates didn't match up to the ones in the deck. I eventually drilled new holes but the first day I set up the board I was riding with two bolts on each truck. So messed up. Mad Circle Ed Devera 44mm.

First thing resembling a skateboard was a Snoopy "Joe Cool" freestyle shape from Kmart in '88.  Then I saved up my Kool-Aid points and sent away for a big fat board the next summer.

First genuine board was in '92: an Alien Workshop Duane Pitre slick, 41mm Clone wheels and Tracker trucks with a loose axle (didn't know any better).

haha, oh man, looking at these posts from 07 is taking me back a bit. I remember focusing my slap account in the Rowan County Public Library the day I heard the librarian call a little girl a nigger.

Reading about Kastel shoes and ghetto child wheels. Fuck! 2001 or something, eh? Anyone else have the shorty's t shirt that read "fuck you" when folded up? Or the skate tool herb pipe? What about the ejaculator wheels?

My first board was a slick variflex that I traded this puerto rican kid, Marky who I thought skated beautifully, like artful ballet but doing 540 pivots and shit like that, a set of red urethane roller skate wheels for. The deck graphic was an alligator crawling out of a sewer. Had some jacked roller skate type brick trucks and some fat yellow, see through urethane wheels.

I had a powell mini logo in between but the first real set up I scored was for my 13th birthday.
