The off-road boards are worth a pop.<br /><br />Tech Decks? My two love 'em - I can't get the hang at all P. Your first one sounds like a <a href="http://skateandannoy.com/2008/05/coololdweirdcrappy-board-of-the-month/#more-6463" rel="nofollow">'Surf Flyer'</a>, which were some of the first UK boards.

I could never understand em! You could do tricks and all sorts, but I guess the question was always "why?". They even had spare wheels (in the unlikely event that you wore yours out from over use on the kitchen table).<br /><br />Love skateboards as a kid, and still clearly remember my first one which was a wooden board with green writing on it (not homemade!). <br /><br />Whoda thought they would last all this time?<br /><br />PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831669069193091334.post-87552049342756743192010-07-19T13:02:20.847+01:002010-07-19T13:02:20.847+01:00No, I was never tempted Mondo.
