New Oldschool Setup!

[@GreybeardSkates]

That's a sweet ride! I remember drooling over a Vision complete (Gator if I remember correctly)at the skate rink back in the day. We're talking early 80s, takes me back.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@GreybeardSkates I really like this one but I definitely want to try the modern concave next. It has a little bit more nose to it.

[@GreybeardSkates]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 That would be sweet. Have you ever looked at Life Skateboards? They have some interesting old-school shapes and do custom work too.

My first Deck good memories

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Solid first deck!

[@stickersteve007]

duuuuude! the varial heel! My favorite flip trick. Looked nice dude!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thanks dude! I’ve never been able to flick them right but for some reason I really felt like it was a good day to try it!

[@Daddy_Reissues]

Sick set up! And killing the park too with the tre-to-rock. I would have snapped my board for sure on the first try😂

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thank you! The tre rock definitely surprised me! Didn’t think it would happen so fast

[@jamesryan4325]

Crikey that deck is really mellow! Unsure if I could skate that! Hat's off!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

It’s actually pretty easy to flip once you get used to it!

[@ron8935]

Vision like Powell was behind on the concave game especially in the early and mid 80s....

[@RuhDICulis]

Love that graphic.

[@GoSkateLouisa]

Killin it 💪

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thanks dude! 🙌

[@Hardcorestilllives]

New deck, new energy! I like old school shapes, but also a bit smaller. The early grab from Welcome also feels like a narrower old school deck to me, even though it's 10 inches and I love it

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I might have to give it a try!

[@Hardcorestilllives]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 Totem, Dark Lord and Early Grab are my fave shapes from Welcome - not for everybody, but hell yeah give it a try

[@skate_oasis]

Dude it is such a joy to watch you progressing! That’s 3 NBDs in one day!? Killer 🤙 I’ve gotta try a vision board one day - the Psycho Stick looks very fun

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I really want to try the psycho stick but this board spoke to my inner comic book nerd! Thanks dude!

[@Dieozam]

Shout out the kid at the end 🤟

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

🤙

[@bnhintz]

Nice deck, bro... It's so wide 😏

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thanks bro. Always take pride in your deck

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Back in the day we would flip the front bolts upside down so our foot caught the bolts on the Ollie and the foot didn't slip off.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

That sounds painful! 😂

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 don't got inch and a half 😂

[@ron8935]

​@@bigdeckenergy8119definitely not very popular and more experimental.... I rarely saw it.

[@Metaltrippin2]

Sick bro I got the street ghost, the no concave is tricky but I came across something called flip strips to add concave to your board, but I either wanna try em out or DIY them

[@leamon2501]

Shoelaces under the grip tape

[@Metaltrippin2]

@@leamon2501 thank you bro 🔥

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Yeah I don’t mind the concave on it now that I’ve gotten used to it! The flip strips are interesting but I feel like they would get on my nerves and fall off.

[@Metaltrippin2]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 😂 yea I hear you

[@soberskater]

That park is pretty new right? Have hornets moved into the weep holes of the handrails yet? I put a piece of duct tape over all the holes at my local it helps keep them away... dope new moves too, tre to rock was epic

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@soberskater no hornets yet but I’ll keep an eye out and the tape on hand! Thanks man!

[@sidwellsk8er]

I hated my Jinx reissue, the original had a upturned spoon nose concave and my reissue was almost flat. It flexed like hell and I just couldn't ride it. I sold it on Ebay and kept the parts.

[@sidwellsk8er]

Also mine was the full sized.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I’m loving this one but it would be nice to have a little more concave on the nose. The flatness makes it harder to land on.

[@sidwellsk8er]

@bigdeckenergy8119 yeah the original was closer in concave to a Powell reissue, which isn't a lot of concave but a little goes a long way.

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

the vision reissues come in classic concave & modern concave. the 2 reissues i have with modern concave have upturned noses, the classic is flat as shit. the classic and one of those reissues are both the same board graphic too, illustrating the difference in concave for me pretty well.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol I’m gonna have to get the modern concave on the next one! The classic still flips pretty well!
