Circa '87 - '88 Lucero Street Thing with Tracker Ultralights and 60mm 92a Bullets. A sweet ride.

From MOM: My son was 9yrs old and I had $120 bucks to spend so we went into Hot Wax in Wilmington that day and checked out some boards. I didnt want to spend alot on his FIRST BOARD. I got a plain deck, home-made...reg poly-ureth. wheels, added some Reds, reg trucks, and put as many stickers on it as I could. He likes it and its fast!

I had hot pink grip on my Pre-H-Street T.Mag. I cut it all up in little shapes and stuck it on.

Tony Magnusson... another one of my favs. Fun with grip art. I have almost as much fun gripping and stickering my boards as I do riding them!

Kerry Getz Toy Machine Deck. two different hand me down trucks. Hand me down Spitfire Classics that were so worn and bearings that were shot. Best investment ever.

Let me show my age here. Santa Cruz Roskopp, teal green - the one with only one hand ripping out. Tracker ultra-lights with copers, Slime-balls probably like IDK 80's with the full kit. Rails 'lapper' and tail guard... I wish I could get that feeling again. Shit started it all for me. good times.
