This. I would rather buy a Mini Logo deck than 90% of the Powell graphics. The reissues are fine, as are the modern shaped decks with a vintage graphic (Cab dragon, ripper on the fat decks).
I don't think I would skate any of the skull graphics designed after 1990, and even the ripper or skull and sword on a popsicle are questionable.
That pretty much leaves the Rat Band or a flight with the generic graphic.
I have skated zero Powell decks in the last 10 years, but have skated at least 5 Mini Logo. I skate ML trucks, and Bones wheels and bearings.
ultra lightweight cored wheels.... a new size lightweight bearing.... a tensor type lightweight truck... new school brake technology for bombing.... wheels that snap on and off... 38mm wheels and 42mm high trucks for a coming 90's revival
My all time fav video is a Ban This excerpt of Cab and McGill riding vert, music by Chuck Treece playing ALL instruments and singing too. Awesome edit! Some say the best skate vid from the 80's
I got a Madrid 10 inch same as Marty McFly rode, but I cant do shit on that except pools/ramp, even then its too tall for me. I reckon new stuff is the future. Having the focus on the past with reissues is not a bad thing, plenty of older skaters listening to the old songs they grew up with,, though a time has come when they're beginning to die off and the market is dwindling.
Lol you said dwindle. Boy scout=be prepared Back to the future?
I catch up with old friends and they keep listening to the old songs. Even though I'm old and crusty, I like the new and fresh.
I do not know what is popular by now but for me its HyperOutdoor board which I use personally since a kid and got it from online website of HyperOutdoor , so if you are new to this sport then I would suggest you please go to HyperOutdoor for once then you wont go or use anyother
