A couple of weeks ago the film
Lords of Dogtown was on TV.
It´s a movie about the legendary z-boys who started the skateboarding trends that originated in Venice, California during the 1970's.
After watching the film i got nostalgic and went out to the garage and dug out my old skateboard, one of the trucks where broken but otherwise it still was in pretty good shape.
Just had to ride that oldschool board again so i ordered new Tracker trucks from USA and got them yesterday.
Me and my daughter who is 11 years old and have her own board went out on the street and it was so fun to skate again!
Skated for 2,5 hours and it shure did bring back memories of the late 70´s ...... and the old man still rocks
Next thing is to try out the U- ramp at my son´s school, he´s 14 and says that i am lame and only going hurt myself, but i will show him how it´s done!
Here are some pic´s my ride
Board: DogTown "Bob Biniak" Bullet design
Wheels: Kryptonics C 65 Red
Trucks: Rear: Trucker Dart. Front: Trucker Torch
Bearings: SKF
If there is any other OldSchool skaters on the forum speak up, now i am going listen to some old Ramones hits and dream of the youth again.......
Ride on!
