All your boards look great, but man... That Haslam deck SCREAMS "SKATE! SKATE! SKATE!" to me. That board totally speaks my language, and I am going to have to check amazon and ebay for a board that good looking.

Hahah yeah at the time I bought it I was pretty much set on learning how to skate pools because it just looked like way too much fun. Well, so far I haven't taught myself how to skate pools and to tell you the truth the board is actually pretty sketchy. I would definitely get new trucks and wheels to put on it. I guess I'm just too used to my longboards D:
Tried out my homemade land paddle earlier. http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/c ... EO0016.mp4
It's alot more fun than it looks, it also feels extremely different from just using your feet to push. Really cool experience. In the next day or two I'm gonna give it a real stress test on a local rail trail. Should be fun!
So I took the initiative to change the title of this thread, as a few of us were obviously discussing skateboarding. So with that all set, anyone do any boarding today? I took my land paddle for a spin today and for $5, this thing works great! So stoked to try it out even more tomorrow. A really good work out too. My arms were killin me afterwards.
Anyone else spend hours over the weekend watching old 411's?
I've got a few with Jason Lee (aka "Earl" aka "Bankie") just shredding ramps up. I hope he still skates, and a Jason Lee signed board would be a thing of art.
But the story behind this purchase is just as good! I walk into Eastern Boarder to pick up some new wheels and bearings. So while this purchase is goin down a couple of kids walk into the shop carrying a pretty thrashed board. I think nothing of it, until that is, they come over to where I'm standing and ask the guy behind the counter if they'd want to buy it for $600. My ears perk up and I look at the deck. It's a Powell Peralta Mike Mcgill vintage complete. (I've been dying to have one for months now). The guy behind the counter obviously declines. I immediately jump in and offer $35 for it. Sold.
