My parents did not really have the cash to spend on these things as a kid but managed to get me a Caballero deck one Christmas. It was so pretty I was afraid to scratch it and when I did it hurt. To fulfil some old childhood dreams I picked up a couple shirts a few months ago and have to...

Like stepping back into the 1980's
This documentary (Bones Brigade) is an amazing view from the inside of the greatest names in the sport of skateboarding.

I have and always will LOVE skateboarding!
This is a MUST BUY for anyone that LOVES skateboarding.
