lol been on here since 2011, but yeah I get what your saying. I'm not expecting anyone to be helping me out with elite cuts. Just planting the seed for a time when I might want to get hold of them. When I said "invest" a few posts previous what I ment was invest some time and effort, build some more rapport.
I know how it works on here, I certainly wouldn't be asking for anything from anyone for some years. But no harm in letting folks know that one day I might.
I'm not sure what your referring to with the posting someones house or fat face?

I'm usually in the LED section, it took me years to come in here, everyone knew each other so it always seem a closed close knit group. To be fair I didn't spend much time on RIU until I started looking at building my own LED. :eyesmoke:

Just watched the first twenty minutes. It's even more hilarious than I remember. there were some good skater extras in the film. Christian Hosoi is one the the most stylish and smooth skaters that have ever lived. I googled him. His life got a bit out of control on meth then it got even worse when he found god ffs
Gator murdered someone too. I didn't know any of that until just now

I still cant watch any of it without watching the whole thing, mind you its an 80s film and they weren't like the 3hour epics you get these days.
Yeah some real old school skaters in there, I heard about gator murdering someone, my old mate sends me email updates about some of the old school skaters. I think there was a book about them all. I will have to ask him.
I remember when I was a kid all I wanted for a deck was a Vision Gator. Never did get one.
Just had a quick look through the credits on imdb, I knew about some of the legends of that time but Ive just seen Rodney Mullen listed. Mad!

I wouldn't if you didn't grow up watching it slipper. Its cheesy as fook. Full of old school skaters but they are background stunt guys.
I showed it to a young skater some years ago, he thought I was mental for liking it. Kids ey!
If you like cheesey 80s shit then go for it, it does have early chili peppers in it too, from when they were on the brown and still did good music. :-P
Some good pool stuff and downhill riders but its more of a romeo and Juliet theme but with clean cut skaters vs punk style skaters.
Boy meets girl but girls from a different crowd...yadda yadda.

Just found this though, which is worth a watch..

@oscaroscar this is where I heard about the Gator situation.

Yeah mad ey, wish we had the stuff back then the kids of today had. They are spoilt with skate parks and ready made half pipes now.
When I was a kid we used to find a derelict house and build a half pipe or quarter pipe and ride it till it broke or the local tramps burnt it down. lol. I could ride half pipe a bit, been young I didn't have the fear but I was never good at the street stuff.

I had an old zorlac board with gullwing trucks and some sims wheels. What did you ride slipper?
