1987 Eric Dressen DogTown street deck
This is my signed 1987 DogTown Eric Dressen street deck. In original mint condition. I bought this board in 1987 and have had it since. Well with a short time with it missing . I picked up two of them at the time. One to skate and one to hold on to. Back to the missing part. It was stolen from my house in 2008. Along with a few other boards. It happened to pop up on Facebook in in 2016. Like I knew it would sooner or later. I contacted the guy posting it on Facebook. Gave him the back story on it. He was a stand up guy and got it back to me. This is my all time favorite board till this day 39 years later.
Can anyone pinpoint the age of this board and help me replace the bushings?
Thanks!
H- Street & Hensley
H- Street Hensley shirt from my teenage years with Hokus Pokus VHS.
My dumb ass would use this shirt to cover my snare to mute it while practicing drums, hence all the holes.
I was such a Hensley fanboy back then, I got a chain wallet like his, and would try to emulate his style. Hell, I’m still a fanboy for him…his collab board with Ray Barbee looks pretty sick.
Grosso Forever
Been rewatching Love Letters. I found this complete Grosso at a thrift store in Virginia Beach 26 years ago for like $10. Happy to still have it.
You guys! I just dug up some of my old skate shirts from the 80's. Can't believe they survived this well.
I was too excited to really lay them out in a way that shows just how good of shape they are for their age, I just started taking pictures, and yeah, that's Rodney Mullen's friggin autograph on the Rat Bones shirt.

Nose is broken but always loved this board
Skate Rags jacket still hanging in there.
Picked this up in Japan a few years back, used the love Skate Rags back in the day and rock this jacket pretty regularly.
This is my skateboard from 1990. Any value to it?

Digging through some stuff and kinda forgot about this. The South didn't get a lot of pro action.
I have photos somewhere. It was packed in there.
Who else was there?
Trying to identify early 80s skateboard wheels sold in Stockholm, Sweden
Looking to identify a set of skateboard wheels I remember from the early 1980s in Stockholm, Sweden.
- Shape: Wide, cylindrical — similar to Powell Peralta Rat Bones, flat contact patch, gently rounded edges. Not conical.
- Material: Urethane, pressed/seated bearings (not rollerskate-style)
- Colors: Came as a set of 4 wheels, each a different color
- Branding: Name engraved in capital letters along the side of the wheel, just like Kryptonics — not printed or raised
- Price: Budget/cheap alternative to Kryptonics
- Era: Early 1980s
- Location sold: Stockholm, Sweden (possibly a European import brand)
- Name: Starts with the letter M — possibly a two-syllable word
Anyone recognize these? Could be a European or Scandinavian import brand with little online presence.
Not Town & Country in VA Beach..it was this
Not sure how I combined these 2 shops.
Explanation in Savannah Slamma 87 thread.
I would love to know the value of my old board
Bought it brand new in 1984 or 85 and it is priceless to me. I am just curious how rare it is these days.
Good ole Tracker trucks, Powell Peralta bones three wheels. Bad ass stickers
