Gay Imp Sausage Metal got me thinking about this, after the thread he started about shoes.
So what boards would you maim/ kill / pay a small fortune for?

There are many more but I'll start off with these.

A mint condition Ray Barbee Ragdoll deck. I still fuck around on that one from time to time. It was handed down to me by my cousin. I have to respect the dudes who did much of anything on those unwieldy beasts.

I'm so pissed now, I had this, left it in my trunk for a few days and it warped, barely skated. sold it to some kid at an out of town park for $10...

Really any of the old Alien slicks.

I can't find images, but the Drake Jones butterfly/fairy board and a lot of the old creature stuff would be nice to have.

dillanharp · « **Reply #3 on:** February 11, 2015, 12:14:31 AM »

Any of these as well.

Preferably in wood grain.

had this board in 6th grade

pretty sure this was mj's first board on chocolate. they had it at my local shop and it was a 7.75 which is what i rode at the time. i didnt have enough money for it when i saw it, but i came back a few days later and it was gone.

edit:

i also regret passing this one up as my first board. the one the shop had was a yellow background, but the same graphic. when i saw it i was bummed because i really liked birdhouse and i had no idea that andrew left to start baker. my brother had a nerdy friend at the time and his last name was baker, so i immediately thought the name was lame and i wanted nothing to do with it. looking back, i really wish this wouldve been my first board. the one i picked out was an alien one off and the graphic was decent, but nothing really special.

All of the old Anti Hero series were so good, but the collaboration with Girl is my favorite.

These are the only two boards I feel that I need.

I have these for sale, if you're really interested.

the toy machine jamie thomas deck muska is setting up at the beginning. i loved that deck.

there was also an Ocean Howell Birdhouse deck that had a ghost(s) on it, maybe it was light blue. One of my buddies had that deck and I always thought it was awesome.

Big Baby Jesus · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2015, 12:30:05 PM »

I'd like to get my hands on both of these boards. The birdhouse was my first board back in 95 and the 101 is my favorite graphic ever. My best friend had it but my parents wouldn't buy it for me due to the joint in the graphic. My dad was the fuzz so that wasn't happening unfortunately...

prettybird · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2015, 01:49:35 PM »

either of these. preferably the wine bottle/glass graphic as I have it tattooed on my shoulder.

I need a Van Wastell board so bad. I blew it, should have picked it up when it came out. Anyone got one?

I have the white one, and I may be talked into selling it.

I loved this era of Birdhouse. The graphics were always so good.

Is this the one?

Lots of good boards getting posted.

Pekkaaa, I had that Daewon in wood grain. Awesome pick.

Frank's nose, the Anti-hero/girl graphic series was so sick.

Wearing an Anti-Hero shirt with that Girl-AH logo right now.

First Anti-Hero board i ever got was the Grewer skull front boarding the golden gate. Always really liked this whole series Lance did.

Ryan Hickey Stereo board:

That's a nice one.

I guess it was only a matter of time before someone posted Chocolate's OG Bar series. I'd love to have Chico's and Gino's boards if anyone can point me in their direction:

Saw this Jason Lee Blue board awhile back but didn't have enough money for it. I'd definitely try to buy it again:

Something about this Matt Hensley Hornblower board is so cool, I can't explain:

This Love and Rockets Lance Conklin board by Powell is amazing:

And many more - Josh Kalis' Photosynthesis board, Mike McDermott's Habitat int'l model, the Western Edition Miles Davis set, Aesthetics' Arcade series, and Jovontae's DGK board all come to mind.

i bought that willy santos board recently directly from his online store. he even signed it.
