The MetallicA one. I grew up in san diego, and I have seen me some boards, but man, that is a cool one.

No, they weren't. Just like with Nash, we laughed at them. Pretty much what we considered toy store brands.

In the 80s we made fun of variflex but I think they were something in the 70s. at least I remember seeing photos and stuff from competitions and seeing alot of veriflex.

I'm not sure if this site has been mentioned, but they have a lot of vintage reissue boards in their actual shape.

That red text above stresses me out lmao

So far I have bought 6 boards, pretty sure the #7 & #8 will be those tattoo redemption ones but I have yet to pull the trigger.

Here are stock/online photos I found of the decks that are in transit right now.

Starting to think it would be cool to populate the boards with some cool wheels & trucks, FML thats going to be expensive...I guess I better decide first if I am going to trade up later on for old school decks before dumping more money into this assortment.

Talking about my Santa Cruz (the Eric Dressen)? It was my favorite board ever.
