Thanks MadDog!! Always good to hear from yah! Sounds like that could be an interesting trophy you're doing!! Hey Monkeyman, thanks! Yeh, Rodney and Per were not there!! Damn it!! Per had great skateboard graphics (Did you see him in that classic movie Thrashin?? On the beach in the beginning just before you meet the Daggers!!) but Rodney Mullen has got to be one of the all time best and most technical freestylers in the world! I remember watching old sk8 movies and pretty much fast forwarding the freestyle parts but would always let Rodney's runs play! He was so advanced back then! It was sure proved to the world when the first Plan B movie came out in 1992 (I think). His tricks in that movie were unreal for the time and it really changed the way freestyle was looked at and pretty much changed street skating forever! Hey Jason, thanks man!! Yeh, freestyle was not too appetizing back then. Especially when you wanted to see faster or more big air tricks. I sure appreciated it as I got older though. And yeh, get that larger board! Long boards are great and alot of fun just cruising around. Or, like you said, get a new classic board. I have a few and they are just like the old ones! Later skaters!! TabooDan
