@More Nine Club just did a funny lil piece with Cairo!!! YESSS CAIRO please do anything like this at least once a week. Us older folks need to see our fave pros skate more often!! 🍻🤙

[@hunterdavis3003]

Yes!!! This! Love Cairo and his rippingnesss

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

@@hunterdavis3003 I think a SANTA CRUZ CAIRO guest model would be fitting

[@samanthamcintire9036]

I preordered the Knox "Punk" board from Old Skull Skateboards near Rochester NY, just waiting for them to get it in stock and ship it out! This will be my hill bombing/ramp/old school street skating/ cruising board, I will be setting it up with 60mm Winkowski Slime Balls wheels, Bronson G3 bearings, Indy 1.5" hardware, OJ 3/4" risers, Heroin glow in the dark 1/8" risers, Mob Clear Grip, Creature Glow In The Dark Rails, and Venture 8.5" Trucks. I am so stoked for this board (and then snow to melt). Hopefully they get my local skate park in Kennebunk Maine remodled this summer, I want to try to skate everyday, like I used to!

[@CEE-ji5rx]

Rad seeing Cairo!

[@micahhriddle9300]

Cairo da best. I still remember getting one of his popwar boards for Christmas one year.

[@SantaCruzSkateboards]

Amazing! Do you still have it?! Popwar was the best 🙌

[@micahhriddle9300]

@@SantaCruzSkateboards yeah, but it’s buried deep in storage somewhere at my moms house. Gotta go dig some of that out one of these days.

[@bewatermyfriend7355]

That was fun... remember his nollie kick flip 10 stairs in an skate mag from 90s. That was mind blowing...

[@CEE-ji5rx]

His Transworld part blew my mind. His Fully Flared part is gnarly as well.

[@bondalero0074]

I got the Tom Knox “FirePit” in blue for my collection because I had 2 or 3 in the 80’s. I kept buying the deck because it was made for me and gonna pick up this Knox “Minor Threat” deck is what I always called it.#SantaCruz❤️#TomKnox#80’sRule#🛹🤘🏻🔥

[@envyuno9899]

I remember when Tom Knox skated for Bobby G Skateboards in Visalia can't wait to get this board im buying two of them

[@hillfurnishings]

Love watching you guys shredding on the old style boards 👌🏻

[@MonkeyMagick]

I learnt nosebonks on that Tom Knox Minor Threat deck. That's a must-have for my collection.... I've been waiting a while to see that one reissued

[@ryanrowe1975]

Cairo Foster skateboarding is looking 🔥 🔥🔥 and different image graphics from the skateboard, wheels, and trucks are providing a great solid griptape 😎🆒️ 🛹

The Tom Knox deck 😍doesn't get more 80's hardcore than that graphic

[@bondalero0074]

Minor Threat Tom Knox is a favorite along with his FirePit deck I skated 2 or 3 in the 80’s was one of my personal favorites!#SantaCruz❤️#🛹🤘🏻🔥#TomKnox(theOriginal)

[@partymountain]

Winning a game of skate against Cairo would make my day! I’d say maybe an 11” deck and those feebles will be as easy as a nose grind

[@pleaseenteraname.5857]

I'm currently skating the Tom Knox reissue, easily the most modern-feeling of all the missile 2 shapes you guys have put out. I drilled the wheelbase out an extra half inch at the nose to make it extra legit 😆

[@punkfiendofficial]

You guys skating each other is so cool keep it up andrew and Santa Cruz

[@bradzillaking4722]

I've got the Slasher on order! Can't wait!

[@hunterdavis3003]

My very first “real” skateboard was a Keith meek slasher! I had a valterra completethat I picked up at the same bmx shop called “all star bike shop” in quail corners Raleigh NC.

[@HeadNtheClouds]

I still have my 80’s board

[@traddad9172]

Started on a nash fishtail but the entire game change when double kick tails came early 90s.

The slash grind is my favorite thing to do. I can't do it front side but u can do it back side I love that trick and sometimes I'll add some extra flare and do a nose grab slash

I just bought that Knox but for my wall! I had the everslick back in the day.

[@michaelrheam2497]

DBC.. Daily Blessings Coming! Thank You ALL for Skateboarding and Everything, Everyday!! I’m still going to order the Jake Wooten deck if it’s in stock, I just didn’t get a chance yet. Soon!

[@MileZeroFilms]

Sick session. Killer decks. Remember the Flip Tail Slasher? Skated both in the wayback. Much preferred the regular tail though.

[@skait174]

I've got a Natas 9.8 rn, and the shape is directional, but functional both ways, so i'd recommend skating shapes just to stimulate creativity. You don't HAVE to ride a popsicle ALL the time. When i started sk8n in 2000, i had 129s. 👉🏽Sized all the way up over the years to 169s (THEE Best Truck😍) and by the time i got to 215s, i felt like i was CHEATING. I had been sk8n downhill all these years, but it wasn't until i tried 215s that i RLY SK8D DOWNHILL. That xtra long Milton clip was on 215s Add some ThunderJuice to your quiver, and now you're really having fun 😏

[@jayfunk5988]

Sick

[@skummyskelly7306]

I'm riding around on the slasher reissue. After I put some green grip tape on it I decided to name it the White Zombie. Put some ribs and a tail puck on it with some bones ruff riders. It's perfect for city sidewalks and all the other nonsense going on in a city.

@@TheReal_DeanD great idea. I wanted to buy it just to see, for my own testing lol. But im collecting to many boards at this point.

[@TheReal_DeanD]

@@TRAVIESO_NA Same here man. Same here. I'm collecting too may decks too. What stinks for me is that I've fallen in love with the Milton Brain Gone deck but I've got some other Creature decks that need some love too. I just don't want to change things out. Ha ha. Nice problem to have I guess. I don't thrash decks as badly as I used to so they're lasting longer.

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

@@TheReal_DeanD dude, boy do me and you seem like the SKATE GODS ARE BLESSING US, wish I had these problems as a kid. Lol haha. Same. I got 2 creature decks on ice, Plus some Dogtown boards that need attention, I currently have 8 completes, from 8.0 inch to 10 inch. All the sizings pretty much. I keep collecting more decks and wheels to back up my sizings. Lol Im insane at this point.

[@sidewalkchock]
