    Armen, bumping this thread because I'm feeling a bit nostalgic after coming across several vintage boards. Growing up I had a few of the ones you've picked up. But I'm curious what you are doing with them now? Displaying them in the man cave? If so, got pictures how you are mounting them?

    Funny this came up in a thread revived today. I met a gal last night who claimed her brother was a part of Jason Lee's skateboard company... Rather vague and random claim, came up while we were playing Tony Hawk Ride, which is really fun. Before we even turned on the xbox I was able to ollie the plastic board 6 inches off the ground, which is better than i could do as a kid. :)

    Was home visisting my parents and opened the closet in my old room and there was my old late 80's SMA Natas Kapus board with Tracker Trucks and Slimeball wheels. Next time I'm home I'll have to take a pic.

    Call over to RipCity skate in Santa Monica, he's got a Zephyr on the wall! I went in for a longboard, came out with a full history of SoCal skating from the late 60s to now.

    Bumping this thread.
    After about 300 decks, I'm finally SO OVER these painted pieces of wood! I just don't know what to do with them.

    Pretty sure Dad bought us four kids skee skates. Made a heck of a raquet going down the street. For us, they were toys. The metal roller skates we had got split in two
    so Dad could show us how to mount them on a 2x4 with a fruit crate mounted vertically to ride like he did as a kid in da Bronx.
