First Deck/Favorite Deck
 

Okay, kinda off topic... But after the way the Jason Lee thread ended up, thought this one would be cool.

What was your first deck? AND what was your favorite deck?

Mine-

1st: Powell Lance Mountain XT in pink

favorite deck: shorty's muska

that cahd muska was my first deck. my favorite is any zoo-york, or 5-boro.

Santa Cruz Rob Roskopp. So much concave I think it held water. I think I sold it for a hasoi mini. hard to remember almost 20 years ago.

first...zooyork graf. letters
fav...whatever i was wrecking at the time...zooyork, element, CCS blank, whatever...can't get attached to a deck

First:

Favorite:

G&S Danny Webster. I can't find a pic anywhere. It had the graphic with him screaming into two telephones.

Apparently there's a site for us.

When you become and old man, you'll have a favorite. Be patient, young one.

see pic. G&S Neil Blender- Faces.

I was also a huge fan of the Schmidt Stix Lopes. Never bought the board, but i had the t-shirt, does that count?

Ha, remember when doing crazy crap with you grip tape was the rage. I spent something like two days cutting out a Dead Milkmen logo out of grip for a deck.

Then there was that clear crap you could put stickers under. I was akin to 25 grit sandpaper.

I can't find a picture of it, but it was a really cheap Nash board. Blue and green, and a shark on it.

Favorite deck is a Phaze One local deck to Tallahassee, Florida. Seriously. Partly because I love Orly and his shop ethics, and they are just quality. I've had all different sorts of major decks, but Tally local is still my favorite.

That is until Ryan sends me his ;).

Aw man, I rememeber that before the lance I had this Nash board that was totally Miami Vice style. It was blue with flamingos and palm trees. HA.

Haha. Sweet. Nash boards are so ridiculously flamboyant. I love them so.

cool site

First deck - Banana board. Yellow plastic.
Favorite deck - any of old whale tail decks I had.

My first deck was a Tony Hawk, it was the ugly one with the circle lookin things on the bottom. My favourite would be a toss up. I had an awesome Santa Cruz Tim Brauch and I had an SMA Natas, both boards were awesome and I can't choose between the two.

Nice.

Damn... I always wanted the original flagship board. **** is awesome.

Sooo expensive now though.

Favorite... Hmmmm...
http://www.a1skateboards.com/t/1DCON0RENT77500.gif
and I cannot find my current board.
It is a Zoo York, and right now I cannot remember who the pro is.

I don't have a photo of the exact deck (my dad bought it for me in 1995), but this is the graphic that was on it:

Not to trash on you, but alien was sort of the pista for skateboarding.

miss my skating days ....

first deck: powell red mini logo i got for christmas in fourth grade.
favorite deck: jim greco / piss drunks (baker). i think i still might have that complete board somewhere, tensor trucks, black panther bearings and the shorty's hardware with a green screw.

I had this one except in the green/black versionhttp://www.spyhillskates.com/Murder2.jpg

Before his prison days. I think he is coming up for parole next year or something.

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.:D

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?

In some ways maybe, but Powell and Airwalk laid the groundwork. Slick marketing was around long before the skater image was pushed to the general (non-skating) public, but sometime during this period skaters stopped being hassled by the cool kids and became the cool kids.
