Thanks guys.

If you like that corner you would love the rest of my house but I am not trying to brag. I am just a dude who has fond memories of skating and was able to carve a nice life out for myself. FTC is just a part of the nostalgia for me.

Here is the other set which isn't my favorite but I picked it up anyway sometime ago.

There is an OG set on EBAY for $10K but I think the lines line up on those. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Western-Edition-Victorian-Set-Skateboard-Decks-Limited-Edition-San-Francisco-FTC-/112483425931

That eBay listing has been in there forever. His price is obviously too high. I still can’t believe I got that set on EBay for $250 like years back. Someone was trying to dump it and seemed desperate to get rid of it.

There is a black one too:

The carpet really ties the room together. Also I can't help but notice the off-center alignment on the WE deck now.

Finally got the rack mounted after a couple of months. Wife was not going to allow boards being hung directly on the wall since it would leave way too many holes. I've had bad luck with 3M Command hooks so I decided to get a rack and 1 slot will be used for my regular setup.

A small sampling of the boards I have in storage. Too lazy to dig up the rest. I fished out a few 7.5 boards (Traffic, Bueno) and I'm still amazed I could ride something so short any narrow.

did you realize it's probably the same amount of holes in your wall but you can't enjoy the graphics ?

1 hole in the wall is enough to hang a board

Thought the same thing, but are YOU willing to argue with his wife about it?
Me neither.

Married life, amirite guys???

Her stance was no boards hanging off the wall, she didn't want out shared study looking like a college dorm room.

I feel you. Just got my girl to let me get my first wall hanger. The magenta 10 year anniversary deck. You should show her how tasteful 4-5 decks on the wall looks, like with those Western edition decks.

I would but while I have a big collection of boards, I don't have anything that is classy enough. The Miles Davis Bitches Brew or Jazz Legends series from WE would be perfect. Also, more stuff on the wall mean more dusting.

I was contemplating getting one of those Magenta boards but I'm bursting at the seams with boards for the wall and for skating.

Yeah my buddy has the black one, the tan one, OG one and the one I have. I think he has all of them but lives a block away from FTC and knows the dudes pretty well so he gets the hook up. Fuck it here are 2 pics I just took of the main floor. All in its a 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 2 car garage and 5k sqft of living space give or take..and a french bulldog.

I'm sure this has probably been asked a dozen times here but there's lots of pages... how are you guys mounting your boards? I bought some of these Sk8ology wall mounts but they don't fit through the deck holes and they recommend drilling the holes out which seems mighty dangerous. I actually tried it on an old deck just to see and it fucked the deck up.

Shoelace thru the deck holes and thumbtack behind the nose.

I was also wondering what the best way to hang up a single deck is. Does the thumbtack stay and not get dragged out by the weight of the board?

For vertical decks just a regular picture hanger type nail and then 2 looped pieces of either dental floss or fishing line through the holes. For horizontal decks, two hanger nails.

Hasn't happened to me yet in the last 10 years, I used both kinds too, the hourglass shape and the flat ones.

I love that Don is still out there doing deck design, as his designs were a high point of Alien Workshop’s art.

DISTANT RUMOURS · « **Reply #1403 on:** July 29, 2020, 05:57:46 AM »

Very true!

I just bought two of his DARKROOM decks (7.75's - one to hang and one to skate).

And this Dill came in!

rocklobster · « **Reply #1404 on:** July 29, 2020, 08:10:51 AM »

It's in pretty rough condition but I'm happy to finally add this to my collection. Paint is coming off slightly but I ain't complaining.

Rob Welsh was in the first skate magazine I ever owned, most of the tricks in the interview were used in Ride of Dye.

There is a black one too:

I wonder what percentage of western editions board sales go directly to wall hanger.

Not complaining, i’d do the same.

Boards are cool especially if you designed them.

This was made for a local company who wanted something in the vein of the old AWS graphics and that had something to do with sustainability and ecology. SInce the owner is a bald guy I thought this was pretty cool.
He did too.

Silkscreened in 3 colors.

Fell victim to the whole big pants small wheel stage. Going to goodwill and getting size 42 waist.
But the dumbest was making flatspots on purpose so it sounded like I was skating EMB at my local.
