    • Awesome. I always wonder, in those days did they ever even imagine or dream of boards becoming symmetrical as they are now?mg33
    • Because you look at his riding style, and think "it was all there" in terms of riding direction, trick style, the boards just weren't there yet.mg33
    • I skated through all that. The old school boards, the old new-school decks with smaller wheels and upturned nose that were still directional...mg33
    • And then the style they've been since the mid 90s that we have now. It's cool to think about riding style that preceded the current style of boards.mg33

    • i remember having a schmitt stix back when they were the only board with a double kick, but even then it was really just a turned up nose, not a kickautoflavour
    • Been digging these old videos so much since I started skating a bit again. Didn't appreciate them as a kid.nocomply
    • I think the limitations of the old-school setups forced more style, flow, and creativity in many ways I didn't realize back then.nocomply
