I know it is a long shot on here, but this is where I go for all my info first :lol:

I have this 1990s skate board that was my step brother’s. It has been hanging out in my dad’s barn since probably the late 90s. My dad let my daughter bring it home and she has been riding it around the driveway.

For the heck of it I did a google search. Apparently some of these are actually worth some money. This one is well used and has some 90s graffiti on it haha, but just wondering if anyone has an idea if it is actually worth anything or where I could go to see if it is.

Powell & Peralta was my board of choice back in the day. Nice board.
 
Co-worker who sits behind me at work who is in his late 50's has been skating his whole life. Apparently he is still VERY good.

I had that exact same board in my younger days. They were the shit. I'd either keep or stick it on eBay.

I had one of these bad boys. About as worn, too.

Somewhere along the line somebody gave me a tail bone that had flint in it. That was the hot shit back in.... 1989? or whenever it was. My dad hated it though b/c it left marks on the drivway and would dig into the finish on the garage floor.
I was never real good and eventually learned a bicycle was a more effective means of transportation.
 
Wish I had all my old boards. That was one sport I was extremely good at. Used to leave at 8 am and go ride the city all day in the summer.

Friends dad built ramps in his backyard which was awesome. Great memories.
 
I've got lot's of scars from my skateboard years.I and friends rode them everywhere and did stupid shit on them, racing down steep hills.Nobody had pads or helmets.We would get stoned and line up to race down the steepest hills, laying down on our boards we called it 'ball hanging".It was a free for all w everyone trying to punch,kick,yank,push each other off their board or run them into the curb, first to the bottom won.We also did it "catamaran" 2 friends sit sideways on their boards and put their feet on the other skateboard and push off. punching,kicking,dragging the other teams of their boards at high speed.......good times. When I was about 20 I had some lower back pain and muscle cramping walking all day surveying and I went to an orthopedic.He took X rays and measured my legs.He said one was shorter than the other.He asked me if I skateboarded.I told him for years 12/16 yo.He asked if I pushed w the same leg and I said mostly my right.He told me that's why right leg was longer than the other. He gave me some spacers to put in the shoe on my short leg.I had a Logan earth ski that was my favorite and a few bahnes.I sold them along time ago for peanuts and wish I still had them.

Mike McGill board. Don’t know value, but wouldn’t think it would be to high? If you had his first board, you would could probably get some money for it. Drkelly’s board is much older going by the shape.
Wish I still had my old boards. I have kept some stuff but use to give some stuff away. Used to go thru boards in about a months time.
I have a shirt in a box in attic that Kevin Harris was wearing on a Powell tour. Tony hawk drew on the back. “Skate like a Doberman”. I’ll try to find a pic on line?
If you decide to sell and find a value. Let me know?
 
I think mine is from 1987, but I'm not sure.

Some board are very valuable. I sold most of my new decks online and they ranged from $200 for a plain Sims to $600 for a decent Roskopp. I still have a Valterra that was my first board and a Lucero I still ride. There’s also a new Powell Ripper up top along with a half a dozen new school boards the kids play on. I have lost a fair bit of weight this year and I am hitting the skate parks again as I travel. I’m just cruising , but it’s a lot of fun.
 
I found a way as a kid to fund my skateboard addiction. Being my parents built houses I would scavenge lumber and other materials and thanks to woodworking skills learned from my Dad, I’d build various styles of skate ramps and some of the local kids would want one and their parents would by them. Lol
The last 1/4 pipe I built with wheels on the back and I could flip it up and tow it behind my 4wheeler around the neighborhood for some skater punk shenanigans. Lol
Sold it to some kid that begged his dad for it. I think that last ramp funded my last board build. Powell Peralta Bones deck, Indy trucks and OJ2 wheels. Hahaa, good times!
 
“Old man probs...couldn't get it up.”

:D
 
An internet pic of the last board I rode ......
