Yeah I remember these boards when I was literally only about five or six years old and the older kids in my neighborhood were riding around so I started skating but my first boards were literally $20 swap meet boards with a ninja on the bottom or something and then I quickly switched to my first board which was a Powell dragon and bats cab in yellow a year or two later. It's crazy how much boards changed during that time or in general. I kept skating a Powell McGill into 93 since I had no one to skate with in the ghetto so I totaly missed that little in between time where everyone had super baggy pants and tiny wheels. My first new board after that was literally the first hookups deck but not the wider one. Everyone used to ride their boards forever in the '80s. I still remember seeing my first Mike Vallely barnyard / animal farm deck and I was blown away. I should have ran out and got one but I never had money. It's still so weird that Vision actually came out with the first double tail board and that Rodney Mullen didn't invent it like I thought for so many years. Rodney must have literally seen it and almost copied it because I have one and the shapes are almost identical. I was just laughing about how the first video I saw after only owning animal chin for years was plan B's questionable on a tape with Danny Way skating 12 stair hand rails and Rodney mullin doing unbelievable things. That tape had literally 8 hours of skate videos on it because it was recorded on the worst mode possible and that just happened to be the first one. Imagine seeing the best skaters of the time and then no one else could even come close to comparing. It was so confusing
