First time I broke my leg was on a skateboard in the 4th grade-40 years ago. 2nd time was my motorcycle...same leg! Back then we had steel wheels on the skateboards and you had to sweep the concrete free of any and all small stones.
Yeah, my pop's gave my brother and I one of his old boards, it's 5-6'' wide,fiberglass, and had the narrow lil tracker trucks and clay like wheels.
The old trucks you can't change king pins in, without drilling that is..
I skated with a lot of pro's, before and after they were.
Mark gonzolas had a half pipe called the ark in fresno, him and ron chapman alen peterson and some of the zorlac crew would come hang and jam.
lots of comp's, before that it was the venice and LB scene, and even mcgill when he 1st opened the park in carlsbad, have the membership card in a drawer around here somewhere...
