My first ride
I saw the storage unit find of the woody and thought you all might Iike to see my first board, or what's left of it. 86 performer. The binding rotted off it and fell on the floor in 2005 or so. The other did the same 3 or 4 years later. Just disintegrated. I like the visual so much I made the longboard during my kids younger years. It started life as a blank maple deck. Some spray paint, masking tape, and a vinyl sticker later I had a inverse matching set. There's 5 or 6 vintage boards in my stack still and the Simms asym race board would still go out a few years ago but I've now given that up because it's kinda horrible. The rest aren't safe. Hope you dig the history. FWIW, the next 2 snowboards in my life were destroyed in use so badly that they didn't exist much later. The 3rd was repainted by me in an attempt to "freshen er up" that basically failed in the cold. No idea where the next few went either. This performer has always hung around with me.
