Skateboarding anyone???

[bass12]

I'm an old school 80's skater. A few years ago I went through my "midlife crisis" moment and just started getting completely obsessed about the old days and the skateboards I used to ride. I ended up initially buying a Powell Peralta sidewalk surfer just to fill that itch but that just made it worse and I literally started a small collection of sorts in the past few years. Memories came flooding back to me and I was on a mission to relive my skating years and my favorite boards. My two favorite skaters were the street skating icons Mark Gonzales and Tommy Guerrero so, I built an old school Vision "Gonz tribute" deck that I found in the same colorway as my original back in '85/'86. The Guerrero on the other hand is just too pricey to even consider (if you know you know). Anyhow, I now have a fairly nice collection of about 10 boards (cruisers, old school, longboard and a couple modern shape) and I think I've finally satisfied my itch. However, I'm still on the lookout for that old school Tommy Guerrero flaming sword deck in blue if the right price pops up lol.

I loved the old Vision Gonz decks (the ones with the pop-art/abstract graphics). I think I went through three of them before moving over to the Santa Cruz-made Natas models.
