My first 'real' board. At least I thought it was. My brother and I sold our iguana at a garage sale to buy 2 of these.

First real real board was a zoo york w/ tensors and probably spitfires. Came assembled from CCS and I coudn't figure out why it felt like it was forcing me to turn in a circle all the time. Took a few weeks before a neighbor kid told me the trucks were on backwards.

Lol. You sold your iguana at a garage sale?

Haha yeah. $50 for Spike + his glass tank & heating light.

Holy shit that's hilarious

NASH Executioner hot pink. 1st pro board was a hand me down Santa Cruz Jeff Kendall Jack O' Lantern with Indy 169's and Slimeballs with cell block risers. The board was a total sharktooth, but it was my first Pro board. http://santacruzlongboardskateboard.com/2018/09/vintage-original-80s-jeff-kendall-santa-cruz-pumpkin-man-skateboard-deck-only/

Some cheap Walmart board until Christmas 98’, got a world industries complete. Came with some cheap ass trucks, but had bones bearings and bones wheels I think.

I can't find any photo of it or mention of it anywhere but it was a Toy Machine turtle boy deck making fun of Leonardo DiCaprio when the Titanic movie just came out. The deck was called "Retardo DiCrapio" in the CCS catalog.

first board I skated was my brothers variflex. my first board was some Wal-Mart 8 ball board. My first real skateboard was a Maple CCS Christmas complete with ventures, pig wheels, black panther bearings, and lucky's risers.

WeirdBeach · « **Reply #342 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:03:28 PM »

holy shit this is embarrassing. so my first REAL board was a Dave Mayhew A-Team deck. part of this conspiracy theory series. it was an 8x32 with an absurd amount of concave. i remember my friends thinking my board was massive. then i found an Ed Templeton Toy board that might have been 8.25? oh! and my A-Team had hand me down Grind Kings and god knows what wheels and bearings. the first time i was able to afford a full christmas morning deck was when i got some financial aid in college. i got an Alien Workshop with Indys and Spitfire Classics.

Plastic banana board from my grandma in like 1983. Then my uncle gave me a fiberglass (?) one. My first pro board was SC Natas, the one with the panther. G&S trucks, bullet 66 wheels. I’ve always rode big wheels since. I think that was 88 or 89.

My personal one was unfortunately thrown in the trash without my consent, but this is exactly what it was.

Ha, right there w you man, i posted my first real setup but my first first board was a variflex blue ninja, it did the job but wow it was a piece of shit

Damn, I've been thinking about this for a few days and still cannot remember. My memory sucks though so go figure.

booty · « **Reply #350 on:** August 15, 2019, 02:15:19 PM »

One those Ninja maypop joints from the state fair. Traded that piece for a Nash Nightmare and got Jeff Kendall or Natas couple months later for Xmas.

Sundaynuggets · « **Reply #351 on:** August 15, 2019, 02:26:41 PM »

Dang, my first was a piece of wood my dad screwed onto some roller skate wheels or something around 1988/89. Then I got one of those super wide toy store/department store kind of ones that said “The wall” on it with a brick wall graphic. First real board was a Powell peralta deck which I think had the skull and sword on it, but I accidentally got a long board because I didn’t know any better.

Christmas complete with independent trucks and ghetto child wheels. Thanks mom

Man my cousin was so good, thank god he was an influence on me. I remember looking through a ccs with my parents and him talking with us on the phone helping us figure it out. It took like two weeks to finally come in lol. I was so scared to skate though I didn’t try hard. Not for like another year. Not until my friends got into skating too did I start to learn. I remember ollieing over a piece of wood on the foundation of some houses they were building with my best friend at the time.

CHONGO · « **Reply #354 on:** August 15, 2019, 04:04:26 PM »

world industries mini complete.

I have tried skateboarding at least once, and now I decide to do it more. However, I don’t own a skateboard, so I plan to get one. Renewing my skills to skateboarding at more than a century old. This Beleev board is the best overall board value to kick around in, period. Its well made with quality parts and makes this a no brainer purchase. Superior skid deck and graphics make this a contender with the high end boards. Serious wheels are smooth and are home on the street as well as parks.

My first skateboard was one of these Batman toy skateboards from 1989 that was my older sister's:

My first real skateboard, a Birdhouse - Heath Kirchart from 97 or something:

Hinna · « **Reply #358 on:** August 28, 2021, 06:53:13 AM »

some giant wide cruiser piece of shit from a garage sale when i was probably 9. didnt even have grip and was too loose to stand on for a beginner. 30 seconds on the driveway im over it. then a nash complete from toys r us for a few months until my old man was convinced i wanna do more than tictac around so we go to some random half surf shop midtown. blind reaper with the bandana. gk camos. for some reason i had to get birdhouse wheels because of the game i guess. memorable wonderful day. my old man came through that day for sure

BillTetley · « **Reply #359 on:** August 28, 2021, 06:54:14 AM »

I had a Veriflex Draggin' Dragon board that my Aunt got me for my birthday.

Years later I got a 5boro Bronx board, it was blue and like all-over graffiti cartoon people. I also picked out blue spitfire and...oof...blue Titan Lite trucks. They were really cheap, but that was the last time I ever had colored trucks or wheels.
