I ended up getting the hawk, guerrero and mountain, and I tell ya's...they look so freakin rad I can't get over it. I'm waiting for the orange cab to drop in one of the aussie skate shops I buy from, ocd monkeys, because they're selling em for $130 free postage, which is cheaper than ordering from skateone with the conversion rates and postage added. My mountain cost about $150+ aussie dollars so hold out I will
I wish they would reissue the old XT decks. I miss those old battle tanks. They were heavy as hell but rode so good. That or somebody should invent a time machine already!
Haha you make a great point there. Does that say retro 80s skateboard in the top pic? No doubt it won't be long before some start appearing on eBay saying it's a nos super rare tony hawk deck, starting bid - $1,000
In one respect I don't have a problem with Hawk or McGill "selling out", I mean Tony has become the Kiss of skateboarding. They are skaters and like many athletes, there is a time clock on their careers, money wise. So finding ways to earn a living while staying in the sport is difficult. On the other hand, it's just one more reason to respect Lance. The guy just wants to be a skateboarder, he makes enough money to support his family, he just wants to skate.
Always was my favorite skater, always will be. Now of I can just get my black lmfp reissue, I'll be happy.
Fingers crossed with that one. There's been a few disappointing moments throughout this, namely the shape of the hawks and mcgills and the lack of snakeskins. Although even if I don't like any of the next set of decks, I'm happy with the ones I have, a green Mullen would be sweet though, I've given up on the snakeskin...but here's hoping you get yours Chris, cmoonnnn black fp!!
Yea I suppose I don't really go looking for skateboards in toys r us. If you find me in one of their stores you can bet your life I'll be somewhere near the star wars lego
