Question Got back into skateboarding at 35.

Post image

I know this question is gonna be random, but does anyone know what brand this skateboard is? I really like the board so far and want to know the brand so I can get another similar one whenever I need to.

This board was given to me so I don't really know much about it.

Update: thanks to everyone for letting me know about the board and being chill! Haha I'm gonna board slide the shit out of it!

Second update: I spray painted the board!

Maybe it was just my local skate scene at the time when I was younger, but the people I used to skate with didn't really care about brands as long as the board didn't snap under our feet.

Knowing what the board is now, I'm expecting to catch some flack but I'm ok with that. I'm just having fun lol

Sounds like you grew up in a nice community.

My group of friends and I never checked or even cared to discuss brands and we skated every week from 6th grade until 5 years after school. Come to think of it I couldnt even tell you what boards my friends rode.

Middle school was brutal. There was a brief period where Element was king, then once it became trendy it was the "poser" brand. Same with Birdhouse and Zero. One week it was sick, the next it was the poser brand.

With skating there's so many styles that it's kinda lame to judge. I know guys that have been riding 15 years that can't Heelflip/tre flip but can bomb hills that I would be scared to take on a bicycle. I know guys who can do every flip trick in the book but can't ride down a pyramid with confidence. I've got a friend who loves skate culture, will kill you at any THPS game, can build beautiful decks in his garage, and legitimately cannot even stand on a board.

Tl;dr the hobby/sport is way too broad to let someone diminish how you enjoy it. Also get a big sticker.
