I rode many boards growing up, but. the best board I had was a G&S Billy Ruff model..circa 1982....had black and pink wheels....sweet board!!

I had an old blue piece of crap one

I also had many, many boards but my all time favorite was my Dogtown "born again". It was awesome. My runners up would be my Zorlac double cut and my Steve Steadham (the one with a cartoony skull w/ dreads, can't remember it's name)
I actually have a vintage Santa Cruz Jeff Grosso deck hanging on the wall of my office right now.

I went through about a hundred boards in my teens, My first pro board was a Powell-Peralta Per Wellender. Skull with a viking helmet street (not freestyle). If I didn't collect toys I'd buy some old skateboards.

I only had a few boards: 1st one was Roller Derby steel skate cut in half and attached to a board. Mom said I couldn't have one so I made it. The mid west circa 1977 was not skatebaord country yet.

I had 2 K-mart cheapee boards a Blue one that shattered and a deluxe Red one. That was later replaced by a Makaha(sp?) It had sealled bearings and soft wheels, and great trucks. Very cool back in the day! I went in to get a drink of water on a hot summer day came back out 30 seconds later and it was gone!!! No one was no one insight anywhere outside or down the street.

I had few others but I was older and there was less time.(girls)

Hmmm...I think it was a custom Super Surfer Endless Summer board. It had Pro-class trucks and Big Mac wheels. I still have it, taken apart. Parts of the trucks are missing and some of the ball bearings have come out of the wheels.

I started out with this narrow blue junker with thiun roller skate wheels then I had the white veriflex amd finally spent what seemed a king's ransom at 12 (90 bucks in 1984) for an AGENT ORANGE about 6 months later fell and broke my arm in and hand , Mom took the board

[Bionic Joe]

I never had one because of the idiot next door had one and busted his head open trying to do stunts and hense i wasn't allowed to have one

[Beatnik]

Still got these two hanging around, blue one cost me over 40 bucks in the seventies. GX Caliber with California Smokers I think? The Nash was a Target special.

I had that blue nash GT board in 1979..one day the bearings exploded out of the front right wheel....serious road rash
