Videos out of my
Collection in 2017. What a board assortment! Thanks for sharing
THAT MUSKA DECK WOW SAME MAN, XMAS GIFT WHEN I WAS IDK 11-12?
I wanna collect so bad 😢but I’m broke lol
epic
HUF Fun board is amazing with the Reda photo
I think the Melvins graphics comes from a tour poster.
well done! nice to see a collection from a less talked about era in skating.
I was able to get the Dylan photo at deckaid in Albany, that was a great event. Similar to your photo/huf deck combo, I have a Kalis mindfield era deck, & the top graphic has all workshop riders names on it. The Dylan photo is a heel flip over a bump to bar in mindfield. So that’s a pretty cool mindfield/workshop Dylan combo, plus that top graphic will be the closest I ever come to a Heath and Dylan deck with their names on it from that era.
8:32 this Jeff Taylor graphic is of a giant sculpture in downtown Houston. It's called "The Virtuoso" by David Adickes. There's a ledge and some stairs beneath it that people skate.
I try to get excited about popsicles…😐
Same name as Garfields owner, sweet.
"SkateHoarders: Garfield" when??
Sick Collection ! I had the Mike Frazier Stereo Deck back in the Day. Good Stuff. The Ryan Hickey Zoo Board is so good
