how odd . . . my first board was a lance, circa 1987.

Hey my first broad was a lance too; his stubble felt like flying to the moon.
Wow, we're really opening up to each other here.
I don't look very good in jeans.

mine was light blue… i went through 2 or 3 boards after that, none were as good as the lance.

Lester Kasai was my homeboy and mentor.  He was directly responsible for a lot of my broken bones as a child.

My favorite board looked like this, only white:



Had tracker trucks with a ton of inverted T's in pink and black grip tape on the top.  It was of course autographed by Lester.  I still have the board at my folks house and rode it this weekend.  Tried one curb grind and almost killed myself…

this was my board. i always wondered why i couldnt do anything cool, then a couple of months ago i saw tony holding up this very deck, talking about how much it sucked

Oh, I don't think that was a typo.  Perhaps best gay joke of the year though….

Haha, you guys brought back the thick skateboard decks? LOL……

Yeah, you're probably right. I was thinking that "stubble" might be some kind of boarder lingo. The second line shoulda clued me in.

for some reason, in the world of skateboarding, the old school decks of my day (christian hosoi was always the "purist magnet") are coming back into scene.  perhaps it is because ramp skating is finally returning into form.  my first lance board was yellow, but then i moved onto bigger and better toys such as the works of trick art that was . . .
