I used to skateboard when I was a teenager in the 1980s, no half-pipe master or anything, but I could get around, ollie up curbs.johnrobertson wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:12 pmA little off topic again, but how many skateboarding enthusiasts do we have here? I just started it in 2018 and love it
I think they got much better once we stopped using metal roller skate wheels and went to those rubbery ones, but by then I was too old to trust em much.PaulDaMacMan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 8:47 pmI used to skateboard when I was a teenager in the 1980s, no half-pipe master or anything, but I could get around, ollie up curbs.
Haha, I remember those early boards that were thin and had thin metal wheels, they were terrible, and like vinyl albums, I think they made a bit of a comeback for some strange reason. The wide wooden decks and wide rubber wheels made a huge difference.bogs wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 9:41 pmI think they got much better once we stopped using metal roller skate wheels and went to those rubbery ones, but by then I was too old to trust em much.PaulDaMacMan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 8:47 pmI used to skateboard when I was a teenager in the 1980s, no half-pipe master or anything, but I could get around, ollie up curbs.
I could be wrong, as this is more of a 'feeling' than an actual fact I picked up somewhere, but I think the "steel wheels" made a comeback because of the movie "Back to the future" coming out, when 'Marty' grabbed that board from the kid and yanked the handle off, turning it into a more modern skateboard.PaulDaMacMan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 2:51 pmI think they made a bit of a comeback for some strange reason.
