Pink Flamingo's.

Did you guys have truck guards and rails on your boards??? We did on our first few. Death bolts, when learning to ollie.
 
man, thanks you guys, just reminded me that I can go tear shit up locally, it's been a while. Gotta watch the sorry/really sorry/extremely sorry video series too, they were amazing
 
If I could load my VHS tapes I got some good shit. Video's of cops and school principals kicking us out of places. Classic kids shit.

remember gorilla ribs from i think it was powell peralta?? they were the bomb back in the day... first things to go though were the truck gaurds and nose gaurds.. the rails held out for a pretty long time from what i remember..

death bolts don't ring a bell with me.. we used to have those ones that were u shaped and went in from the top of the decks, you had one for each hole, so you only had four bolts per deck instead of 8, damn, wtf were they called..
 
it kills me that we now have this amazingly sick cement pool in my town now for skating.. the thing looks simply amazing, and i'd love to try it one day, but fuck me, i haven't skated in more years than i care to remember, lol, and would probably end up in the hospital the first 50/50 i tried on it, but it does kill me to drive by it all of the time and not skate it for sure..
oh to be a teen now summer is here..
 
death bolts is where you put in your 2 top bolts upside down so the nut is on top of the deck to catch your shoe. It tore your shoe up pretty good too.

I used to skate with rails on my board, it was tight never needed wax and I could keep a deck as long as I wanted... Although I would still switch out every 4-6 wks, no one likes a sloppy deck..
