I've always wanted to put together an old school complete. The major problem was the pricing. However, this year has been looking up for me and I felt now would be the best time ever. Also, the shops were having sales and I had to take advantage before prices go back up. So I grabbed a retro Powell-Peralta Steve Caballero Chinese Dragon deck because Cab is one of the greatest of all time. It measures 10" x 30" with a 15" wheelbase. It's a major beast to carry, but it made me feel like a member of the Bones Brigade.
As a bonus, the shop through in a free sheet of MOB Grip. I selected the Suicidal Tendencies design just because they're pure classic skate punk rock and I'm suicidal - so it kind of works out. What's also rad about this graphic is it was drawn by former Bones Brigade rider Lance Mountain.
Matching deck needs matching wheels, and since this set was heavily discounted, I had to scoop them up. These are the Powell-Peralta G-Bones wheels. They're 64mm with a 97A durometer. Perfect for the park, but I'll for sure roll on the streets.
Check out the post below to see what else is will be added to this setup.
