The (un)Official RacketBoy Skateboarding Thread

[d123456]

I need a skateboard.
Anyway those interested in kick as graphics, advertisements, some history of skateboarding and the complete history of World Industries check out the rockumentary: "the man who souled the world". Awesome, I know like 95% of all the names of the people that were interviewed and that were talked about. Little skating here and there, but this one is more about the lifestyle and what happened
Powell VS World
Girl VS World

Cool that Daewon Song stuck with World. He´s such an awesome guy.

Check out what I just picked up today for $35.

Color me Green.

You can't really get any more Bones Brigade than that board. Makes me want to watch THE SEARCH FOR ANIMAL CHIN, and then work on my one minute manual.

Completely sick board, and for $35, that has to be one of the best purchases you've ever made.

How does she ride?


edit* are those sims street wheels as well?

Haven't taken her for a spin as it's been kind of wet out, and I didn't want to damage it anymore than it already is. I have stood on it and ollied with it though (in my room). It pops like a mother*ucker! Love the classic fish tail. I'm probably not going to ride it though, as I've been wanting a Powell board FOREVER and now I have one, the art is just too good to mess up. It's gonna go on my wall.

Edit: also the wheels just say "Powell Peralta" and "95" on them.

Here's some more detailed shots. I also found remnants of a sticker on the back truck, been trying to figure out what it says but I cant make it out. Whoever owned this board prior, thrashed it to hell and back. love it.

4130 Chromoly Steering...

Something along these lines apparently. I guess they had an ATV or go-kart as well.

Awesome man. Now go thrash that board.

In case you don't browse the video thread, check it:



With all his acrobatic skills I wasn't surprised that Nathan could skate, but I was surprised at how well he can skate. That one minute of footage would take me at least one day and possibly two boards to film.
