Hipster Skateboard advice

Awesome man, if you ever wanna go for a ride there, grab my number from the private section and call me. Btw you not been going to the trixie sessions?

Also, the board I got is completely bear, do I need to treat it with anything?

yeah man last2 tuesdays ive had prior commitments next week is a definate, gonna ride to norths then down to trixies then onto south easts

i would varnish it if it was me to seal it, you can stain in a classic stripe or 2 as well if ure keen ive done that before.... mask of a line wood stain whip masking tape off while still wet, its real old school surf look
do it before u grip tape and do minimum tape will look sweet

I used to roller skate there every chance I got back in the early '80s (every weekend and a coupla nights during the week)... There was only one regular skater left back then, Steve Fitzgerald, who was a coupla years above me at my school... It was mental there BITD...

Just went longboarding properly for the first time today with some mates, I'm definitely getting a board having not skated in years, bombing a hill with your ass to the tarmac feels awesome Brah!

and also, abec ratings don't mean sheeeeet

+1 it took me a long time to figure that out, but when i did it was about the time i realized Bonez Redz FTW

^^^Swat I ended up getting. Anyhow here's a pic of my board after I got really bored. Damn trucks won't be here for another few days..

^^ That's hott man, great work!

Rode it a bit today till my mate hurt his back from past injury. Carves like a dream though a bit wobbly when going at speed. Love it.
Want to get some stickers though.

Don't do it!! That grapic is sweet, stickers will just muck it up!

I was thinking just having some small ones at each end, so keeping the graphic exposed..

Yeah that actually would be cool, old school stickers to keep with the vibe though ;)

That looks very nice. Try tightening the back truck but leave the front truck as it is. Should make it more stable, but still nice and turney.

Cool thanks for the advice.

Does anyone know where I could get some old school stickers? I've looked on eBay and can't really find anything..

On the bottom of an old deck between the rib bones and rip grip

hey phil todd twist has good selection of old skool stickers on his ebay shop.
im up for a skate at brixton when u are....

Cool, guy's a legend, mad quick shipping for anyone put off by eBay.
About brixton, I'm actually away from this week-end for ten days but I'm back in London for another 10 (easter week basically, mid-April) so I'll contact you at that point. Plus gives me a bit more time to be stable on the ole board..O_o

Rather than start a new thread, anyone interested in this beauty that I have had since I were a youngen. The first ever Black Label deck, A John Blacklabel Motor Company, with a set of Indie trucks and Santacruz Bullet wheels, MNB bearings if memorey serves me correctly as well. I am open to offers...

i don't know if this is a repost but i thought it was kinda cool even if it is an advert
