This Dave young guy down the road in my suburb sold me some whale-tailed Santa Cruz deck. The graphic was all shredded off and the tail was already razor'd. I remember putting, upon his recommendation, some kind of rivets in the tail to make it last longer. It came with Powell Roller Bones (the one-sided ones) and some plastic-baseplated Tracker Ultra-Lites, GMB bearings, and the grip was stripped so I added a fresh sheet, which helped me to learn ollies in my garage while it was still snowing out.
Dave Young was kind of a Pat Brennan clone. He dressed straight out of Powell Video Eight. He also had one of those Old Ghosts, "I like chicks with big tits" shirts. Lots of long-sleeved Ts with shorts. When he sold me my setup he still had a fresh one from the year before—the Frankie Hill bulldog model, with G&S trucks (with the cylindrical hangars, they were sick!) some Cockroach 56s, and, of course, Bridgebolts.
