I think that aloha hawaii was my first ever skateboard.
Damn you Joe Burlow for selling me crap!
Shit! One of my neighbours had the ‘Skate Zombie’ one! I didn’t know they actually advertised. I thought they were Argos jobs.
The Pyromaniac was my first board in 1986. Mine was dark blue on the fish tail shape with blue plastics. It was flat as a pancake, heavy as hell, and all the plastics were hollow. It had the awful bubble tail saver which after a week had worn through! I remember is being shrunk wrapped, but the trucks and plastics had been fitted afterwards. Bloody nightmare. I wanted a Kryptonics Ripstik, having seen it in a Faze 7 ad in RAD the same year. Was pretty gutted.
How can I track down a Pyromanic? That was my first board as well.
I had this , first skateboard back in the 80s it wasn’t as bad as some of the shite out there
Haha
Yea just come across this.
My first board was the skull one ripping off McGill. I wanted skate zombie. Surprisingly my mum deemed that inappropriate but a skull with a snake in its eyes sockets was better.
I think that because it was advertised in rad it leant it legitimacy.
Haha
