On one hand, you're saying the United States
government is spending millions of dollars to
eliminate the flow of drugs onto our streets. At the
same time, we are doing business with the very same
goverment that is flooding our streets with cocaine.

S9 Padang bamboo w/ chargers
Still have it and ride it, it's sitting on bennetts now, venoms, risers, wedge/dewedge, it's a blast for pumping/carving/cruising.

An old DSC pool board, complete with plastic rails and tail skid.
My dad got it for me at Canadian Tire back around '88 or so. I think my parents still have it somewhere at their house buried away somewhere.

I got a Sector 9 Padang with the same Indy 215s I'm running now and some stock Sector 9 Ball wheels. I ended up selling those wheels and getting some Gumballs, which were way too big. I ended up trading those to my girlfriend at the time for Pink Powerballs. It was a rad little setup. Too bad I murdered it by trying to redrill it. Bamboo splinters a lot if you don't put something under it.

I made my first longboard. it was a 40 inch pintail with wheel cut outs at the nose the thing was very stiff with no flex which wasnt what I was going for. I set it up with randals 180's and gumballs. I still have it and its going on my wall one of these days.

An old wooden water ski that i mounted an even older set of 4.3cm(no joke) ACS trucks to and some red Hobbie wheels that came with the trucks. More soul and style than any other board i have. Still got it ten years later.
