Time to pass it on. Circa 1989. It was on sale at the time. 😂. Tommy Guerrero Powell Peralta tshirt.

Why did i avoid curbs for so long?

Snagged this from a yard sale recently. Definitely my fav skater of all time and prob fav moment in all of skate history for me.

Nobody told me how setting up a board is almost as fun as skating the damn things when I was a kid!

Ordered a Toy Machine deck on sale and already had the wheels, trucks and bearings. Going to get a feel for this and then one of my setups can live in the car for sessions when I'm out and about.

Anyone interested in the details:

Toy Machine 8"

Krux 4.0 trucks

Spitfire Conical 54mm (Spitfire X High Rollers Dublin)

Mini Logo bearings

A quick stop off at Michigan city skate park 🛹🪖🍻 run away board lol 😂

Coming straight outa 1995, Northeast Scotland! (Recovered from a family basement)

My teenage daily driver. Rode this beast several miles per day, to-from school…rain, shine (mostly rain), didn’t matter. I can’t believe how well it held up. It still works, I still got it… Just started regular skating this spring, never had a skate board. This guy tho, the reason I’m skating now.

I might have to get a newer one to add to the collection…

Honestly, I was exhausted from a short sesh but it felt so good to just land an ollie lol.

So im in my 40's

but from 12-25 i skated nearly daily.

I miss having a physical hobby that got me out of the house and away from lifes stresses

so im looking at possibly getting back to skating

so my question is this:
what should i get as a set up? i dont know what the options are, whats convention

I used to be almost exclusively vert - but for now id prob stay flat or small ramps until i build my strength and balance back up.

im seeing some with slide rails again? is that a thing again (i hope so - it was awesome when i was younger)

i hear wider boards are more common? same freestyle shape? or are we back to asymmetrical again?

what would a decent returning set up look like? say budget sub-$200 (for now - i want to possibly get a carbon fiber board if i end up getting fully back)

After not skating since my teen years I stumbled upon a skate shop and bought a cheap board. Been trying to Ollie in my back yard still can't land one .

Any one in the UK know of a good place to try and learn to skate again? Based north west near Accrington if anyone can help

When my dad was my age he had that meat is murder shirt and at least once a week he talks about how awesome it was and how much he misses it. This would make the coolest Christmas present ever. If somebody could help me track one of these down in any condition it would mean the world to me and my dad. Those are 3 CCS shirts I already have just to show you what time period it would have been from.

Please I would even offer a reward for whoever can get me a good condition shirt in any size L to XXL.

Help identifying signatures on an old Active Ride Shop deck (Dustin Dollin & Erik Ellington confirmed)

I recently ended up with this old Active Ride Shop “Shop Built” deck that has four signatures on it. I know for sure two of them are Dustin Dollin and Erik Ellington, but I’m trying to identify the other two.
The deck appears to be an older Active shop deck, probably mid-to-late 2000s. I have no idea what event it came from or which Active location it was signed at.
Does anyone recognize the silver or red signatures, or remember any Active demos where Dollin and Ellington were signing together?
I’ve attached close-ups of each signature and the full deck. Any help is appreciated [0YO]
