Frankie Hill is too sick! He actually got back into the sk8boarding scene a little over a year ago .. He started a company called Hill skateboards .. He's on my facebook and is always posting up new pics and footage of what he is doing at the moment in his skateboarding .. He recently had a documentary made on his career, it was put together by a pro sk8boarder named Nate Sherwood .. It's pretty underground and hard to find though .. I'll post up the link when I find it .. Lance Mountain has always been one of my favorites, he was such a funny ass joker and a pretty decent vert sk8r .. Lance also has a really good story to tell about his life in sk8boarding on the Bones Brigade documentary .. Here are some pics Tatsujin, the first one is of me as a little dude learning backside airs in my back yard mini ramp in 87 .. The rest are scans from old 80's mags I have ..

Have to say, I'm not a fan of fishtail decks.  I'm chucking all my old flatmate's stuff out tomorrow, including an oldschool fishtail which I'll never use.  It's not gripped, so I'm not even gonna dick around on it.

that's rad to hear. now I need me one of these hill decks :D
apparently it seems that his page is down atm: www.hillskateboards.com
I've always thought he was into sk8eboarding all the time. watched some vids here and there on YT as he became a real grown up. but he just looked the very best in ban this.. such a cool hair style..lol.

I also liked lil kid guy mariano. seems he's also back on truck again and founded some shit together..hehe.

btw. nice pic of you :)

I've been watching Mullen vids. what a legend.

Flatmate actually picked up his stuff, but even so, shipping that thing from the UK would have cost about £50.  Had thunder trucks and.. can't remember the wheels, but they were big and rubbery.

@ galam .. You gotta watch Mariano's part on the new Girl and Chocolate video called Pretty Sweet !! His part on the Mouse video to date is still pretty epic .. Actually every freaken part that he has ever released is banging !! That dude has not slowed down at all over the years .. Vice.com has a really good Epicly later'd episode on his life and career in sk8boarding .. Gotta peep that one out also .. This is on of my favorite Guy Mariano Blind decks from back in the day ..

do you guys have any pictures from the old sk8ing times?

I have had only about two or three from the late 80s, but coulnd't find any of them so far :(

@NGH, yeah frankie hill (literally) rocked big times in ban this (and the soundtrack was so awesome too). even uploaded his part somewhere on youtube once.
also always was a fan of lance mountain. very oldskoolish guy. not the best, but instead probably the funniest sk8er of all time :lol:

I really would like to do some skateboarding again, but now I'm going towards the 38, and not the most flexible and light person anymore. probably will teach my son some few stuff, when he's bit more grown up.

I think I've got some pics from back when, lemme see if I can dig 'em up :)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!
