Ye Olde Skayteboarde

I was bumming about, minding nobody's biz

Example
when I stumbled upon a contraption like this!

Example
It had all the markings and provenance
I tried to look all nonchalant
As I picked it out of a heap of trash
Threw the board down and proceeded to thrash


Example
This is the way we used to do it
With stickers and rails attached to it

Example
Graphics and logos from days of yor--
companies that shred up the Time Before

Example
The thing was in need of a new set of trucks
What do you want for just three bucks?


Example
The best part part of this Deal of Deals
Is the giant, smooth-rolling T-bone wheels



Example
Nice and wide, it rides so sweet


Example
And perfectly fits my size twelve feet

Example
The Hummer of skateboards for cruisin' the hood
After so many years, it sure felt good!

Is this a "found" photo?

F-dizzle skatin' the fizzle sizzle (Fakiegrind Central).

Life at Fakie Central is a non-stop photo-op.

Got the feel to make it real!

Deal?

I have a request.
You do honor requests, right?

I want you to take photos of your shadow doing a fakiegrind while simultaneously typing the post on a laptop strapped to your chest at the same time you are pointing to your ollie pad thingy.

I actually put my back out recently, and am still recupperating. That last photo was taken by a stunt double. But I'll work out the logistics of your request, make some diagrams and assemble the required equiptment. Then we'll call the media and make an Event of the whole thing!
