Third from the left but it didn't say valentine. I always thought the graphic was so sick. My Dads buddy gave it to me when I was young. Pretty much the exact same setup, maybe a narrower conical wheel and with a tail guard. I gave it to my best friend, he still has it. Maybe I should get it back...

Mall shop complete:

Element Kenny Hughes Deck
Destructo Trucks
Spitfire Wheels
Bones Reds

First real skate shoe:
eS Koston II

Not an all in all bad first setup, if I may say so.

This was my first board.
Got in at Harrods in London when I was 6 years old in 94. After I saw some guy riding down the street on a proper board with small wheels and a rug on his shoulders I knew I had to have a skateboard. Thanks random guy.

I still have it in storage somewhere. It's probably going to be my only wallhanger.

My first board was garbage, it was a Dominion Warlord. It was some department store piece of shit that didn't roll.

First board was a Wal-Mart board with flames and plastic wheels. I asked my mom to buy me a Tony Hawk game and she said "You don't even ride a real one, why do you want a video game?" So she bought me that instead. My first "real" set-up was an orange ATM board, almost a blank with a small logo near the tail, some Hollywood wheels and Destructo trucks. I still have the trucks/wheels laying around somewhere.

7.5 mini logo it was blue, and I put a bones reds sticker right in the middle of it. I instantly regretted that.

Grind King trucks. I went to the local snowboard/skate shop and the snowboarder working there told me I wouldn't hang up when doing 50-50s because of the lower king pin. I had no idea what a 50-50 was at the time but I lied and told him I did a ton of 50-50s to try and sound cool and ended up with Grind Kings to save face, my hangars fell off regularly. I still have the set sitting on a shelf right by my desk practically unscathed.

These generic black wheels that felt chalky.

My first deck was a 7.5 acme slick with the image comics character Glory on the bottom. I don’t remember anything about the trucks or wheels. I bought it off a kid in high school.

I’ve never been able to find a pic of the deck.

60 mm Slimeball wheels and probably Indy’s although trucks never really registered for me back then. Came with rails, nose bone and tail skid. Christmas present 1988. Got it from CCS in a Thrasher mag. Still have a soft spot for Santa Cruz to this day.

bucketoftruth · « **Reply #199 on:** April 15, 2018, 09:52:59 PM »

A Madrid slick that I got from Capt Lou himself on Warner and Springdale! Before I could complete it, we moved to Phoenix, so it took a bit to slap some blue-based grind kings black panthers on it.

Over the years i've tried to find that board on the internet and haven't been able to even find a picture of it. Any pal know some kind of maple skateboards graphic archive?

I was 8 and had a friend who would let me ride his extra board around. Lived in the valley so it was an IG shop board, ventures. 50mm wheels.

I learned how to Ollie on that then really wanted my own board. Christmas of 1998, my parents asked me what I wanted. I gave the super detailed list based on an old Transworld skate mag and a CCS mag:

Blind 7.75
Ricta 52mm
Independent trucks
Black magic grip
Reds bearings
And for some odd reason requested a pack of stickers to put on the board.

Christmas morning, I wake up to a card saying “we’re going to 5 points skate shop in ventura tomorrow for you to pick out your first skateboard”.

My family was pretty broke and after the shop put the board together, a bill for over $150 came. My dad looked down, looked at me then broke out his checkbook. Could definitely tell it hurt his pocket but he knew how much that meant to me.

I fell asleep with that board in my bed for probably a month straight.

Side note, anyone growing up with a broke family do weird shit like fall asleep with your new sneakers on?
