Old Ghosts

I like what Dorfman and Vision did for skateboarding in the 80s. I don't like what Rocco and World Industries did for skateboarding in the 90s.

Forgot about that, Sharks. Nice one.

Check the Ed Templeton interview from last year & what he says about Dorfman

Rocco gave his pros boards.  So what if they were warped?

Kyle

What did Templeton say about Dorfman?

I was watching The Monster Squad on Netflix last night and saw an awesome Vision deck. Pics aren't great. Anybody know what deck this is?

Select just finished a new run of the street ghost with wheel wells and your choice of stains or dips.

Those are some risers.

When I setup a flat/OG concave with 60mm wheels I like to use 1/2" risers.

Especially with Indy trucks..baseplate is pretty thin

Stick to Gullwings, Trackers and Thunders imo Slipster!

I've been pleasantly surprised so far by my gullwings..they turn great

ghostbuster

I regret getting rid of my Gullwings for Indys.  

Kyle

Where/who makes Gullwings?

WakeInFright

Gullwing? Gullwingtruckco.com mate!

I may be just joining this conversation five years too late, but Kyles take on World Industries is shit. Rocco did more for skateboarding than Dorfman could ever dream of doing. The simple fact that Vallely’s Barnyard board did more for skateboarding than any other board in history should be fully understood here. You might not like Rocco, but the not just the shape evolution, but the graphics that were coming out through the World camp are still some of the most iconic ever.

You may not like them, but in the overall scheme of things, your opinion doesn’t matter.

World shaped the world.

Powell-Peralta has always been a skater-owned brand.

Thank God that World Industries shit happened after my time.

Didn't Vision have the first double kick?
