Gunner Golden Son Festival

[Dank Brew]

Pretty excited to see there is other skaters here. I wish I got to skate more than once a week (If even...). Used to be every day.

The funny thing about music in skate videos... Sometimes it's a song you've heard a thousand times, and never even liked it. If it's a good skate part, that song will forever be a favorite: completely changing your view and opinion on the song. Pretty powerful if you ask me.

Now I'm getting really nostalgic, with all this skate talk. It was a short-lived phase for me about 30 years ago, but I have great memories. I can still remember walking in to buy my first "good" board (which now almost sounds like a LotB character):

(f'n) Vision Gator (link is to a re-issue)

I always wanted a Powell Peralta Caballero, and I still regret never getting one.

Btw, got one soul so far.... I am only getting increments of 5 now. FFS, I was hoping to get more than 2 but at this rate I won't get more than 2. I should have started farming BNW again once I got the first soul...

Dude! I have the movie about him "stoked" - awesome that was your first board. He is still in prison though, I think.

And for Caballero... I always get the half cab shoes, best skate shoes ever.

Holy crap! I had no idea what you were talking about regarding prison. So, I just looked up Rogowski, and I'm horrified. That definitely puts a damper on my good memories. I should have got the Caballero, I guess!

Yeah man, it's some terrible stuff huh... I'd recommend the movie stoked the rise and fall of gator

Check out this documentary too if you guys haven't seen it, about the Pappas brothers. It's on Netflix if you have it. One of my favorite documentaries period, even outside of skateboarding. Although it really made me despise Tony Hawk.

Sweet, thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out. Interesting about Tony Hawk. For some reason, that guy never resonated with me. I appreciate the talent, but I was never a big fan. Though, it could have just been me trying to go against the grain, since everyone seemed to love him. That was part of what drove my Caballero interest - an alternative, less-popular Powell option at the time.

You'll love this doc then

A Bonite Cab was my first board. Christmas of 87. I've still got it.

I wish I'd kept all those world industries boards I had during the early 90s. Some of those things are worth a ton a money now. I burned them all at a party in the mid-late 90s. Along with about ten Hensleys. I really regret that. Not as much as Gator probably regrets killing his girlfriend and stuffing her in a snowboard bag, but I still regret it.
