Later in the day I went to go get my Jordan's and all that was left was the black pair of Nikes, the Jordan's were gone after only having them a week. I was pissed but figured hey some poor kid is loving life right now. I thin kthat was also my last pair of Jordan's.

ouch, but good looking on the bright side

Had my first pair of Vans I ordered out of a skateboarding mag in the 70's. I can remember everyone joking on my ugly shoes and a few years later everyone was starting to wear them. I've probably own more Van then any other brand of shoes.

It was kinda getting me down that I thought I was the only person wearing skateboarding shoes. And a chick at that.

ISO: Male. skateboarder. Preferably single. Inquire within.

I still ride a ramp with my friends son but its a smaller 1/2 pipe. I can still get some air but nothing close to what I could do when I was younger. I was never really into the street riding just ramps and 1/2 pipes. Do you ride?

I watched 'Dogtown and Z-Boys' and wished I'd have been there. Must have been a riot.

Now? Hay-ellz, no! Bits stay broken waaaay too long to make the risk-reward worth it.

Good luck in your quest, D-Rave.

D Rave this was one of the first wide boards ever made I had and it looked so funny going from a board that was 4 inches wide to one that was 10inches.

I can't seem to get the hang of skateboarding. I do a little better on a longboard, but not by much.

my best friend is an amazing skater, i can stay on the board and that's just about it. i learned to skate while listening to huey lewis and the news' "the power of love" on repeat over the course of a week in florida. keep at it, persistence is the key

I remember that magazine!

I use to skate a Lance MT and a Gator boards. With universal trucks and independent wheels.

GREAT thread. I have been a BIG fan of Born shoes...my only problem with them is that the shoes I've really liked by them, they've stopped making them. I am a Clark fan as well.
