    The old school boards are wider. I just found my Powell Peralta Sword and skull deck(before shitty bonite came out). The new style reminds me of old school free stlye boards. I likes having rails on mine. Like the old schmitt styke 2's. Newer thinner style was after my time. All depends on what yiou like. You would probably get the same kind of looks on a Vision gator as you get riding a 3 wheeler. lol.

    Sounds like my kinda board lol. There are a couple of reissue Vision gators on eBay. No grip tape though?

    While were on the subject of vintage skateboarding, I thought you guys would get a kick out of this vid I found on the 'Tube.

    Man the skate scene has changed a lot! I'm too young to have seen this side of it.

    Well, I bought my board. It an Almost Mullen OG Impact V3 deck with Core trucks, Amphetamine ABEC 5 wheel bearings, H-Block risers, and Black Diamond grip tape. Ended up being $70 bucks shipped. I'm expecting it to show up Wed-Fri hopefully. All the info that I could find on it said that its a good deck, and is a little stronger than I need, so it should last me a good while. How do you guys think I made out? What do you guys think of Almost decks?

    Never heard of them. I remember some of that video from back in the day. I probably couldnt even ride a board anymore.

    Well I got my board yesterday. I don't remember it being this hard, but after maybe an hour of messing around, I can do an ollie about an inch in height. It is a lot of fun, and its quite a workout.

    Well getting a new board is a must, just about. As the old school boards and not as strong. There are a few that I still skate but if you can get a GOOD reissue or remake of the old school shapes then thats what you should do. I skated a few new school boards or popsicles as we call them. I just couldnt skate them, not to mention I am 245 lbs and size 13 foot. So the bigger the better for me in more stuff HAHA.
    86-87 Tecate ROCK!

    Ride fast...........brake late............and Slide the rear!
