I can't remember my first....1st generation Vision Gator, I think.[edit] ^^^^Ha, that's funny! Mine was green, but I ran through about three of them, and a Psycho Stick (And many others...damn I ran through a lot of decks!)
One of my favorites too....But my all time favorite has to be my Powell longboard (if you factor in fun and good times, not tricks).
I still rock the Powell longboard. I used to actually commute to work on this thing, in traffic. Brakeless.

my first was a creature deck, silver with a ratfink-like coffin mobile on the bottle, my favorite was a dregs longboard, flat and like 5 feet long thing rolled for days. close second was the standard element deck, just narrow enough still ride that one

First deck (1977)... Yellow Banana ..rode until the bearings beat me down the hill one day.
Second deck ... Blue Plexiglass from Sears...added marine deck tape and RoadMaster6's later.
Nice wood long board with oak strips ..... was a good barefoot hill board...baseplates an inch thick DSC?
First Pro Setup .... brand new Powell ripper from new company Powell and Peralta.
Several Powell models follow Cab, Pers......BONITE...WTF?
Fav deck was Tony Magnusson with Hell Concave ... my vert deck.
AND I STILL have my Fred Smith Loud One III Tee Shirt. Saw him snort the chain.
Still have the Mag, and the a nicely preserved Blender ala his Picasso phase.
Anyone remember when Gator killed that girl? Saw him on Hard Copy?

Hmm, my very first deck was a Kamikaze from cotco or somethin'.
Hmm, ive had (in no order) psycho stick, a rob roskopp, tony hawk, lance mountain, tommy guerrero, mark gonzalez, mini cab, Natas Kapas, and some others I cant recall.
I think my favorites were the TG and MG decks.

First deck - G&S Billy Ruff "Joker/Puppetmaster" [?] with Tracker trucks and Kryptonics wheels. I think I still have it...
It's also my last deck. I sucked so bad at skating, I rode my bike instead.

first deck: maple matchhead (CANT FIND A PICTURE ANYWHERE??? ANY HELP??)
this was also my favorite deck. i believe i rode it until there was about an inch or 2 missing from the tail and nose.
also, any baker deck has always satisfied me.
