From 1983 until about 1996 I rode a skateboard every single day. Since then I've only skated here and there. A few years ago I fell really hard and couldn't move my arms for weeks.  After that I told myself I wouldn't skate anymore, but now that I live on one of San Francisco's sweetest hills to skate down I just can't resist. So I dug around and picked up some re-issued classic skateboards that were around when I started skating. These boards really take me back to my teens and the good old days of skating concrete ditches in Albuquerque.

Putting the grip tape on these decks was so much fun!

I'm gonna use these decks for a photo shoot later this month. In the meantime I'll continue to get around on my REBEL8 deck and my trusty Zip Zinger. But after the photo shoot, I'm gonna skate the shit out these old school set-ups. Keep it rollin'...
