Full Skateboard Setup, 1987 Powell Peralta Caballero, Trying to Street Skate
Time Stamps Below:
I have been watching a lot of DanTRooker Videos / dantrooker and decided I needed to just go skate for fun more. The best way I could think to do that was to build a full complete from my childhood. Back when we skated all day with almost no tricks. Just travel around and see what happens. So in this video I build that board and I go try and street skate. I forget how hard it is to skate on a board without a nose. respect to the OG #BonesBrigade

Thanks for watching my videos. As always this is just a hobby, this channel is not monetized, I have no sponsors, I am not selling anything, I just like to share my Adventure in Skateboarding. I encourage 40+ year olds to get back on the board or find something for yourself that brings harmony to you work and personal life. I am very much still a beginner but I am willing to put in the work.

I love everything about this setup dude, it looks like one of those drawings of monsters driving hot rods! The colours, the shape, the grip, everything looks so fun! Thanks so much for the kind words, it really is awesome when you guys say cool stuff about my skating that I hadn’t really thought of that way! “More All In Than I’ve Ever Been” needs to be a sticker / t shirt! Amazed you can still nose slide that! You should recreate Some Tommy Guerrero Future Primitive moves with it too! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🙏👊
I had to ride the board fakie to get the nose slide. So really it was on the tail. I wasn't sure how the skid plate would affect the trick. It took a bit but was happy to get a little one.
I think the board is cool but going to take some adjusting to.
Your skating reminds us all to just go skate. Get out of the fences and be creative. Stay Rad Sir.
Going to rewatch Future Primitive tonight.
Amazing nostalgia.
I’m 45.
I always go back to old pics and old clips from the skateboarding days of 86-91.
Crazy.
I remember everyone wore Airwalk, VSW or Vans with a glob of duct tape on the “Ollie side”. We were all so proud of the duct tape.
The preppier skater kids usually had Powell decks, the grungier kids flocked to Alva, the cool kids rode Santa Cruz.
Poser kids always had the latest models and most skateboard fashionable clothes but couldn’t even ollie “one deck”.
We would get our hearts ripped out the moment one of the guys “quit” and would immediately hang around the non skater kids. They were like traitors to us.
It was like that scene in Gleaming The Cube.
“Why are you walking? Where’s your board? Why do you have Nikes on? Why are you wearing a Starter hat? Why do you have a football in your hand?”
Or worse. One of us would get a girlfriend and they turned “prep”.
I remember my very first set up was a G&S Guerrero cyclops deck, red Thunder trucks, German bearings, purple grip tape, green slime ball wheels.
My final set up around 91 was a Jeremy Klein Blind “vegetable” deck with neon green G&S trucks and SMA pequeno wheels.
That’s when I was evolved ollie-ing 5 decks and doing 360’s off of 5’ launch ramps.
Good times.
In other news or nostalgia:
A buddy of mine from back then called me and sent me pics and goes….
“Do you know who this guy is?”
Turns out he ran into Frankie Hill at some random convention in Chicago over the weekend.
Amazing comment. Love this.
I am huge G&S guy. Growing up in San Diego G&S was the $#!+. I still pick up a lot of G&S. They just released the 89 and 90 comp boards. However the Blender Faces board is one of my favorite bowl boards I have set up.
Deck Art and can take you back to a time for sure.
Are you still skating?
I stopped in 89 with nothing but an Ollie and started again at 41 in Dec of 17. It is the single best thing I do for myself.
Stay Rad and I really appreciate the comment.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding
Absolutely. I had fun making the comment.
No. I don’t skate. I still appreciate it, tho. I think I watch the Mullen Dream On video daily and I have a couple new DawWon decks in my basement on the wall.
A few years back I made a perfect Corey Webster “spider skulls and bones” set up. I even bought an old Jeff Grosso deck and spray painted it white. Drew the graphics did the web grip tape perfectly threw on some old black tracker trucks I got from eBay some plain white ribs and some word green wheels on it. It’s better than anything I ever found in Google Image as far as a movie replica goes (Thrashin).
Years ago in Chicago I was on a bicycle and stopped at this skate park along the lake and was watching the guys seen this nerdy looking older guy shredding. Glasses. Heard someone call him Jesse. So when he got closer to me I go….
“Are you Jesse Neuhaus?” It was. Haha.
I miss those days.
I can’t go back. I’m over 275lbs as I became a serious competitive bodybuilder.
I think I can still kick flip, tho.
Another ironic story;
Two years ago I get a random text from an unknown phone number. I text back saying they may have the wrong number. Me being a creep I reverse google the number and it was attached to “Pitbull skateboards”. A small local company in Chicago.
So I text back and go….
“What’s PitBull Skateboards?”
He replied so we had a two hour talk about skateboarding we went on and on sent him pics of my Daewon decks and my Corey Webster replica.
Owner met me the next day and gave me a couple of his companies decks. Lol.
Got them all hanging up.
Good times, man.
Skatemaster Tate cassettes, Limpie pants, VSW berets, sk8 Tv, the Tony Hawk hair combed to one side of your face hair cuts…
Hey. Once I wrote Clawz gloves company a letter telling them I can’t afford their gloves and asked them for an old pair if they have any and the company sent me 3 pair of new ones for free. I was 12.
Never forgot it.
I look at old decks all the time. Now I have “adult money” I think I might order a few of them for decor purposes.
Awesome, love this.
Did you know they still sell new Tracker Trucks? I picked up a pair last year and put them in a setup. They are way tight/stiff, put them in bowl board.
I think the art of skateboarding is amazing. I think I have oddly become an art collector with as many boards as I have picked up with "adult money."
I got into body building for 3 years. I was 240 of couldn't run. It is the most addictive thing I ever got into. All that mattered to me was when was I going to eat and when was I going to sleep. The workouts were implied it was everything else that went into it that consumed me. I miss being big for sure.
If you like being around skateboarding, have you thought about getting into filming? I am about to have shoulder surgery, during that recovery my plan is to make videos for people at our local. Highlight them on the channel.
Anyway Sir, stay Rad. Appreciate you.
This video makes me happy. It's nice to see the excitement that this brings you. Nostalgic things are the only ones that never get dull
💯 love this board. Appreciate you sharing in the experience.
Great video. I'm 53 and just got back into skating. I made the mistake of thinking I needed a longboard since I'm an old adult but I ended up falling multiple times because my feet kept hitting the exposed wheels. After cracking a rib I decided I'm going get an 80s reissue deck and skate what is comfortable for me.
Welcome Back. I stopped in 89 with no tricks and came back in Dec of 17 when I turned 41. The best part about skating now is we can go build what we had back in the day and that is a great way to start. Plus you will be hyped on your setup. I also have a lot of 70s and 80s G&S.
I did just get into downhill. That is a whole other adventure.
Stay Rad and enjoy the ride. Thanks for checking out the video. 🙏💯
Love the Airwalk Prototypes too. Proper retro style. 👍😃
I thought they would be appropriate for this video 🤣😂. Thanks for checking it out. Stay Rad‼️
Love the board been skating since 1983 🔥🙌🏽🔥
Awesome, I stopped in 89 at 12 and picked up again in December of 2017 when turning 41. It has been an awesome 5 years
Wow I’m giving you a lot of Credit for still skating and you did a great job putting that Skateboard together.
No credit for still skating Sir. I didn't really pick up a board between 89 and Dec 2017. So I started skating at 41. 6 years later still at it with the eyes of a kid and loving every moment. Nothing better than being able to do something you loved at 12 with adult money at 47 😂😂😂.
That was awesome! You skate real good and you haven't lost much of your balance either! Thanks! 😎👍
Thanks for checking it out. Super fun video to make. I promise I have better tricks🤣 this board was a bit challenging day one. If you check out the last Powell Flight deck video, that is more of where I am currently at 🙏 .
Skating a board without a nose sure is harder than I remember. All that said, I am stoked on this board and plan to get used to it and see what I can get on it. Stay Rad Sir.
The blue eye is sick
Dude when I saw how that was going to go down I was like, "£π©$ yes that will be cool!" Really love this setup but not having a nose on the board makes it very challenging, how did we do this in the 80s? I picked up a 10 inch Krooked Gonz with a real nose on it for better street skating. I will quietly set that one up next. But for now we skate the Cab and relive 1987.
Nice to see you still dare to boardslide.
I am only 40 , but with getting older I don't dare to boardslide anymore. To afraid to fall on my back. Hope you land it next time
I didn't l really start skating until 41 so I have to get it in 😂. Oh man check out the new trick at 46 video when I learn front board on a flat bar. That was a battle. Never thought I would be doing that.
Appreciate you checking out the videos. Stay Rad
Man that rooster really wants to participate. I'm fifty and still in love with 80's skate...
The roster was going off for sure.
80s skating is where it all started for me. Love the early history of skating but I am connected with the 80s.
Stay Rad Sir.
I had a vision mark gonzales fat face deck in 1989. Unfortunately, I kick myself now years later for trading it in 1993. I originally learned on a half pipe when I was 12 back in 89'. And why I keeping kicking myself today is that vision deck was a birthday gift from my oldest brother who had already been skateboarding since 86'. He had a Schmit Stix John Lucero deck, broke that on the half pipe, saved up his paper route money and bought the Natas Santa Monica Airlines deck in 1989. He saved his money again, and bought me my first skateboard in 1989. The fun thing was I got to select the rails which were Santa Cruz white rails, bullet speed wheels 97a, 66mm in yellow (originally), independent trucks, and independent risers.
Nowadays, I have five skateboards and just cruise around on my days off. I have Powell Peralta ripper deck (I believe made for a pre-teen rider), but it was my first choice that I re-learned on. Then, I purchased a few others. I tried the Powell Peralta re-issued old school decks, but they were too big for me. I ride a 8.0"x 33.5" I loved your video, plus your skating is spot on how I used to skate years ago. Loved the re-issue you built there. I'm always searching for that first red stain Vision fat face Mark Gonzales deck that I had years ago and loved. I'm currently on my fifth skateboard build. I still have to order my rails, bearings, wheels. 🛹😎 I had decided on the fat face mark gonzales deck because the lady reminded me of Marge Simpson from the 80's cartoon, The Simpsons.
Sounds like you and your Brother had rad setups and good times.
You can get the reissues of the Ginz board from the vision website. I have one set up with slimeballs to include rails and a nose bone. It is my skate to the store board. (Aka beer run board).
Please share your board with us when you get it setup.
I won't say how many complete boards I have setup.right now. It is a problem 😂.
My normal street boards range from 8.25 to 8.75. the big boards are hard to get tricks on. However, in a recent video my friend and I build a 10 inch G&S from an uncut blank and I was able to get some tricks on that.
Stay Rad and keep pushing.
Super sick setup. Nostalgia at its finest.
Appreciate you checking it out. G&S coming up. Excited for that one.
Now this was a very retro experience
Awesome that is what we are going for my friend.
Love it man! Awesome!
Appreciate it 🙏 thanks for checking it out.
Love it brother!!!
Appreciate it. Everyone needs an OG setup ready to go.
Stay Rad.
That was absolutely Amazing. 🎨
Thanks for checking it out Buddy. Super fun. I think am going to make it my Sunday board and go out in the wild and see what I can find.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding haha 😂 yeah continuous Adventures and i like how you said your all in 💯
💯 Sir. More than ever.
Love the new set up. Can’t wait to shred those spots with you👍🏼
Sundays, spot days. It is on.
Hell yeah !. F***g nice board and great job 🤘👍. Love Powell peralta reissue.
Appreciate you checking it out. Still one of my favorite setups. Sometimes we just have to take the OG boards out and just skate. Stay Rad and have an awesome Sunday.
You too !. I'm 45 now and I'm riding another board reissue : OG Ripper. Never to old for riding ! 🛹 😊.
Facts. I didn't really pick up a board between 89 and December of 2017. Best thing I have done for myself as an adult was to start pushing.
47 now and hopefully just getting started. 🙏
Thats one badass setup !!
Appreciate it. It is a fun one.
I am going to set up a Niel Blender G&S soon. Excited for that one. It is an additional but they all get skated.
Rad… Grip job, ordering mines today but gonna skate it… and use 215 Indy’s with the new Dragon wheels.. sick set up🔥
Appreciate you checking it out. 215s will be pretty big on it let me know how they fit. I ride 215s on my flight ripper deck. Love them.
I definitely skate it Sir. Outside of the end of this video there is short video grinding it a bit.
Stay Rad Sir.
Awesome setup
Appreciate you checking it out Sir.
Everyone needs an OG setup in the quiver.
Stay Rad Sir.
That thing is badass!! 👍
A little throwback. Really challenging to skate with such a flat nose. But fun. I will figure it out. Stay Rad and thanks for checking it out.
Really sweet video sir. Keeping Rad.
Thanks My Friend. Really appreciate your constant support for the adventure. Stay Rad Sir.
Love this set up man good pic brother
Every one needs and OG 80s setup in the quiver.
So rad ‼️🙏
Setup looks rad! Keep ripping the curbs
Thanks. Definitely going to try and improve my curb game. There is no nose on this board so I picked up a Gonz Krooked board and a X Brand Toxic dimple boars for the next setups. Sundays are now for the streets, old school style.
Lovely stuff fella
That is Sir. Fun but challenging. That is for sure. But it looks cool and that counts for a lot 😎🤣
More and more lately have I been wanting to try out a board with this kind of shape. I’ve only ever had experience with the popsicle shape but these look like so much fun. Great video! Seems the roosters are hyped on the new setup!l too!!
For sure, the rooster was hyped😂😂😂
Great video. Loved the neighbors rooster getting involved
Rooster was getting it‼️
Dan has a great channel. That board looks RAD. Using the bowl for the grip was a good idea. It does look like a proper 87 board. And taking it to the streets is the only way. That bank looks like a blast. Tearing it up! Great video.
Dan is crushing it 💯. Really happy with how the grip turned out. First time I have tried to do a little something different.
I really need to skate this board more and get used to the flatness of the nose. I would like to get more pop and an more controlled tricks on it. Definitely keeping it in the streets. The goal is for this to be my Sunday board. Thinking Sundays is now for spot hunting.
Thanks for checking it out. I had a lot of fun with this one and this board will hopefully become a staple on the channel for a bit. Because I really want to get good at skating it.
Stay Rad my friend ‼️
I used to love doing rail slides, you did a good effort.
Board slides in a flat bar are easier than curbs these days. I have trouble bring it back over the side of a double sided curb. Not having a nose if definitely the hardest part about making this board.
Super sick! Never forget the first time I saw and skated that board ...the tail and balance was so sweet! Been waiting to get some 169's for a Vallely Elephant reissue setup, after watching this though, think I'll just go ahead with the 159's I already have... Happy 2 day old Turkey Day! 🔨
It is a really fun board. Hard to relearn how to Ollie on a board with no real nose, but an awesome challenge.
159 where perfect for this with big old school wheels. 169 should have been a bit big I think.
I think I am setting up a G&S Blender next. Should be rad.
Thanks for checking out the video. Stay Rad!
I am really jealous.
I love that deck
Really excited to get this one and build it. I was able to find a "blemished" one on the Powell site and use some points so I only paid $44 for the deck. I think it turned out great. Now I need to learn how to skate a board with no nose again. So difficult.
That is for checking it out. Waiting on your new videos to come out🙏
That's a classic and no mistake .Remember the cab board from my young days ...never had one but plenty did .I had some now classic boards back in the day.As soon as I skated a popsicle I was never going back to the "fishboard" .But in a bowl I bet they still work .
Thanks for checking out the video. Definitely a throwback. It fun to play around on but hard to skate without a nose. In the bowl it is a little short for me. The board is only 29 inches.
But love having it and playing skateboard.
Cool!!!!
And fun
That's a cool setup. You almost got that slappy board slide, I was waiting to see it happen :)
I couldn't pull it back over on this curb. Next time 🙏.
"its not perfect" ... no its beyond perfect, you did an excellent job and I hope to get my board like this.
🙏 I love this board. Everyone needs to set up an OG board.
Thanks for checking out the video and leaving some feedback. A lot of people watch this video but not a lot leave a comment. I appreciate the interaction. Stay Rad.
Love the board, I got a Cab re-issue myself now, I started skating in 1984, gave up in 1990 after a snowboarding knee injury. Took up skating again in 2017 off and on since then just doing some street, and mini half pipe riding.
We are on a very similar timeline Sir. Started back in December 2017 after stoping in 89. No tricks back then just fast and everywhere. I like bowls more than ramps but mostly because we don't have ramp near by to mess with.
Tha ks for checking the video, I appreciate it. Stay Rad Sir.
Man if I seen you busting down the street on that I'd launch my ass out the way cause I know you mean business!
It's before my time I was born at the end of the 80s but everything about the 80s is so sick! The colours the music the attitude!
Dude that thing looks boss!
Awesome set up video mate loved it!
Agree with your comment about dan! He's the absolute man! Could watch him for hours!
That is for checking it out. It is a throwback for sure. It was fun to get out I. The streets and push today. Very different that my normal sessions. But Dan has shown me that this should be a normal session. So fun.
The 80s were an awesome time to grow up. The 80s was and outside sport. Sun up to sun down. Miss those times.
Stay Rad Sir. And thanks for checking it out and being present in the community.
Love how you kept this real, hell we never had a “skate park” we had city streets and store fronts, we would attempt to go in to are local swimming pool during winter once drained, but hell, we never succeeded. I remember that board. I’m redoing the board I had when I was 13, Santa Cruz Roskopp, damn how things have changed from the 80’s…
Things have definitely changed but the joy of pushing is still there, alive, and available.
That is for checking out the video and I hope it got you hyped for your setup. Stay Rad Sir.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding hell yes it did, I purchased a couple of boards from my youth, yes they were going to just hang on the wall, nah screw that, started taping the last one…thank you for giving me that glimps of youthful days
For sure. This community just adds to it.
I think its great how you can skate all styles of boards, and this one looks awesome. I have to stick to the standard popsicle shape and even that can throw me a bit if the concave is too steep.
1987 was a good year, not only did this board come out I was born too 😋.
😂 awesome a good year indeed ‼️
Skating the different boards is all part of the adventure for me. It is challenging for sure but each is so different it is interesting to me how I approach it and what I can learn on it or even what I can't do.
I know what my good setups are but if stick to them I will probably have to learn kickflips and that sounds hard 😂😂😂.
Very cool set up.
🙋♂️
New sub.
Appreciate you checking it out. Love setting up and skating new and OG boards. Just setup a G&S 1990s Pro Comp board. I will edit the video soon and get it uploaded. However, I learned a new trick this weekend so I need to get that video up next. Always hyped on new tricks 🤣.
Man Im about to turn 34 next month and Im getting back into skateboarding. Your channel is an inspiration bro
Appreciate you checking it out. Enjoy the process. If you had tricks before you stoped you will get a lot of it back quickly. If you are like me and starting from scratch with tricks you have to enjoy the process as much as the success.
Stay Rad and keep me updated Sir.
@@AdventuresInSkateboardingI had bag of tricks my biggest worry is the beer gut I have acquired in my 20s lol. I skated for a solid 5 years, high school hit and I got a job. Well that job I got in high school progressed and next thing you know 13 years went by and I quit that job a few years ago. I've been trying to find myself and knowing I'm missing something and this is it. I've always had Popsicle boards but I want to get into pool skating too. I've checked out a lot of your videos. Definitely subscribed
Making time for yourself is really important. Starting at 41 is the greatest thing I have done for my self. I am better at work and family because I finally started making time for myself.
I skate popsicles and big boards. Skating is great with adult money. Different boards for different styles of skating. Street tricks, bowl, pool, slappy curbs, surf skate, beer run board. I love riding them all. It is an addiction.
@@AdventuresInSkateboardinghell yeah man!
Those kicks look sic af with the new stick man!
Had to make sure the kicks were era correct for this board.
Man that thing is a beast! I want to see you roll away from these massive slides at the end!!!!! Looking forward to the next one!
I want to see it too 🤣. I couldn't pull it back over. However, glad I found the spot, super fun.
How did we do this back in the day with no nose. Everything is a bit more challenging. I think if I can fix my ollie on this it will be great for my skating on my standard setup.
Bring back the 80s. Stay Rad Sir.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding nect time!! you got this
For sure. May be the whole session but won't leave without it 💯.
Couldn't afford pro boards growing up so I settled for Variflex or second hand. Now that I CAN afford them. I'm buying old decks like crazy lol. Skating them as well as hanging them. Great to see older guys (like myself) shredding again.
Keep going!
Adult money is way cooler as a skater 🤣. I stopped skating in 89 because we didn't have the money for it. I think that is why I love it so much now. It is a bit of addiction.
Stay Rad Sir. We sponsor the sponsors 🤣.
I’m so glad you posted this video! I’ve been thinking about doing an 80s setup. This answered a lot of my questions. I’ve been going back and forth on getting a board like this, but now I think I’m convinced. Thank you, sir!
Awesome! Super fun. Skating with the flat nose is pretty challenging but I keep telling myself that we did it in the 80s so I can figure it out. Definitely build a board.
Thanks for checking it out, I had a lot of fun with this one 🙏
I ordered that same deck today. I looked at several options, but kept coming back to that one.
@@BrianLeverett Kool that you ordered the board. Look forward to seeing how you set it up💯🙏
Ok, I have everything on the way except for the sex bolts. What size bolts should I use for the rails and tail bone? I appreciate your help!
@@BrianLeverett go to Sk8Kings or Brand X toxic skateboards website for the sex bolts. That is where I found them.
I went to Guapos Skate Museum in Texas and boards were so big on 80s. 16 or 17 wheel bases sometimes. Loving the risers too. Wheeee
You need the risers with the big wheels. I thought color mixing them would give it some style.
My first board....30+ years ago, I'm 45 now. This is amazing.
Cab has his own website you can pick up his boards and a lot of them come signed, if that is something you are interested in. Just search Steve Caballero.
My last board as a kid was the Hawk Claw board and I was able to pick up a reissue of it when I started skating in late 2017. It ment a lot to go full circle.
Stay Rad Sir.
That's amazing and I'm definitely going to have to pick up some gear. My kids don't believe me now but those guys were so accessible back in the early 90s...I got to hang with Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Christian Hasoi, etc...at Kona Skatepark in Jacksonville, FL. I have so many photos and autographs from that time period. I really enjoy your channel and will have to stay tuned.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding
Appreciate you Sir.
I made my first trip to Kona this summer. I had the wrong board with me for sure and it was about 100 degrees. I plan to get down their this winter. I go to Savannah a lot and it is not far from there.
Stay Rad Sir. Tha ks for being a part of the adventure.
For some reason your comments go I to the spam and I find them later.
I had this deck back then. I got the mini. Yellow and red. I had red Gullwings and yellow Bones. That was a really gorgeous board overall.
Classic.
Love having OG setups.
Stay Rad Sir
Man, it's good seeing another "old dude" still skating for love. I never truly quit, just took time off to do stuff I knew better than to be doing. Paying for it now. Good on ya, man. I lived in Chapel Hill in 99-01, moved back to Portland, or, my home. But I gotta snap out of this and find guys like you to skate with, you seem dope AF. I'm 47, and btw, using my girl's email to send this, as I'm techdumb and can't switch accounts to mine on this damned phone.
Btw, got a creature set up, and rode the same trucks n wheels as your Powell 80's at the moment! Had to laugh. Keep ripping, man. I just subscribed n liked.
Awesome, glad you are back on the board.
Life gets a vote. Sometimes it takes over. I didn't touch a board for 20 years then tried to get my kids into it. They didn't bite. So another 10 years disappeared. But in Dec 2017 at 41 grabbed a board and haven't put it down. At 47, as well, skateboarding is the best thing I have done for myself as an adult. We must keep our life in harmony. If not the demons creep in. F#[% the demons and skate.
Stay Rad Sir.
That's what it's all about. I was never that good and scared to launch and such, but it's just as much about the attitude and passion for something as it is the skill. I bought a board again a few years ago and want to get back on it. I live out in the country and our streets are way too rough to ride, so hopefully soon will go check out the "local" (50 miles away) skatepark.
💯 sometimes I don't want to get out and battle tricks, I just want to push or slappy. Skateboarding is skateboarding and that's what makes it skateboarding.
Have you thought about building a ramp or laying a nice slab of concrete to skate?
Mullen learned everything g in a Barn.
I don't think I could live without skating at this point. Skating will drive my retirement location 🤣 roads, parks, streets. Stay Rad and I hope you find a way to skate.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I thought about a ramp, but first will have to prove to myself that I'd actually use it, which I definitely would. I do know one spot I could ride in town, until they kick me out or complain. lol
Sunday mornings always seems to be the safe time to not get kicked out. That's when I go to my slappy spot.
Gotta say Anthony - this setup looks fucking dope! While I don't skate that style of board, I have the upmost respect for it and may even have to get one myself :) I love how you topped it off with the the Airwalks- beautiful!
🙏 thank you for checking it out. I am super happy with the way the board turned out. It is really fun and a great throwback. Definitely build and old school board even if just to have an awesome cruiser. It isn't easy to skate but I think over time it will get better. I had to bust out the Airwalks for this first video. It was just the right thing to do 💯😂.
Awesome feedback Thank You.
I totally forgot about airwalk shoes.
At older that 40 you are a great skater 👍
Appreciate you. Probably not great, but having a good time for sure. The guys at the park keep me staying a young 47 😂.
Stay Rad 💯🙏
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I’m about to get and old school skateboard and this was really helpful and just entertaining I have watched it like 8 times😂 because I just love watching you put it together then riding it keep it up with the awesome vids 👍
@ZephTyler that's awesome, what are you thinking about getting?
When I made this video, I didn't think anyone would be interested in a long setup video. Turns out to be my biggest video by a long shot. Just a few views away from 20K. That is crazy to me. I am lucky to get 1000 views on my little hobby channel videos.
New setup video going up today and a short separate click of the skating. A 10.75 Wide Boy. The board is awesome, I can't stop skating it 😂.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding That’s awesome I’m thinking about getting a Caballero but next week I’ll head down to the board store and have a look and hope to buy on and I’m definitely putting rails on and the tail pad because it just really brings up the old school vibe and would also make the board so much cooler
@@ZephTyler 💯🙏
The Rooseter Strikes again 😂. I guess you stopped counting after 12. Don't blame you. I know a guy who rides for Powell Peralta who has a similar board to you in design. Christopher Heitt is his name. I've watched an old bowl competition called rage in a badlands. Consisted of most of the Bones brigade I beleive. They all had boards just like that. You should check it out. Those boardslide attempts incredibly long. I've only only done boardslides on a flatbar or a parking barrier and they were pretty short kudos to you. Congrats on the 2k subs again. I already said it through Instagram but I'm just really stoked for you!!! 😆 🤟
I have all the old Bones Brigade videos, I love them. They are part of my childhood. I definitely still follow Powell's current team. Heitt is a beast with a tone of style. I do believe he has a board with a real nose on it. The nose is completely flat on these 80s boards. Challenging but fun.
If I lost count on the rooster it was an honest loss of count. I tried to get them all 🤣. I didn't count chicken and goose noises 😂🤣.
Thanks for being an awesome part of the adventure. We will keep pushing. Stay Rad Sir.
The roaster!!!
The rooster was getting after it. I was running out of space for the Rooster count in the edit. 😂🐓
That's a really old school setup! 😃
It is, super fun. Difficult/challenging to get some tricks but I am going to see how I can adapt.
Gd that board is sick af
It is super fun to go kick around on. Thanks for checking out the video.
I ordered the Zero Hammered Hosoi! So I'll need some trucks and wheels for it. Gonna be my shaped board!
I have definitely been looking at those. I didn't have one as a kid so I am interested. He has some awesome one of a kinds in the website. Spending for those. But also has some full completes for around 160 when not sold out.
Definitely a cool board.
Your deck looks awesome, I always liked Caballero decks, I stopped skating in 92 my last deck was a red Powell Peralta Ray Barbee. I’m 44 now and couldn’t imagine skating at this age I would probably no definitely go c@nt up and break my neck. God bless from Australia 🇦🇺
I started again at 41 after a 30 year break. Now 46. I say definitely get back I to it. You don't have to skate the same way you did in 92. There is bowl skating, surf skate, or just good old slappies. Soo many ways to skate. I say go for it. Plus lots of good older Australian skaters out there. Warren Leeds is one of my homies look him up on the TH-cam.
Nice set up. I just started riding a 9.8 shaped board with 159s. So much fun. I also struggle to come out of board slides where there's no end to the curb....when you work it out let me know!!
For sure, I will keep you updated. It will go down soon. Hard to leave tricks hanging out there.
I like welcome shaped boards. They have a good nose. This old school flat nose is super challenging. But we did it in the 80s so I know it can be done.
Thanks for checking in on the video ‼️ stay Rad Sir 🙏
lol love the roosters in the background
that's a smart way to grip your board, usually I get impatient and just let luck do its course 😂
I agree color bolts look cooler than plain bolts
damn! you got Tony to sign your board!
he came to Bakersfield and he got chased into the store that was having a demo 😂 had no chance of getting near him.
those air walks look so dope!
man you had that board slide!!!
I couldn't get the board pulled back over from the board slide. Next time for sure.
Rooster count was out of control🤣.
It was cool the way the bolt holes lined up with the center of the eye. Really happy with how the grip turned out.
It is awesome having the Claw board signed by The Bird Man. It is full circle from the last board I had as a kid, to getting it back as a reissue, skating it for a while, getting it signed, and hanging it in the living room. It is a constant reminder to keep skating.
Thanks for checking it out💯. Stay Rad my friend 🙏.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding lol roosters had an aesthetic to it. I hope to get a signed tony board one day.
🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓 🛹
Sick man. I got the skull and sword board in that same silver color way. I threw some rat bones on it and it’s been a awesome cruiser! I like your grip tape job. 👍
Awesome. I have some Rat Bones sitting in a drawer. I should toss them on and see how they run.
It's 2023 and I'm about to be 49, My prime was 88'/89', started in 87'-92'. Just got a Gonz OG reissue recently and even though I've tired skating again in the last couple years I wasn't really stoked to until I got this Gonz. I've already gave it an 80's style neon grip tape job and put some yellow Powell Rib Bones on it, I'm looking at some harder wheels because I only skate street.
Awesome, absolutely understandable. You have to be stoked on what you are skating. That also leads the the board addiction 🤣.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I'm pretty safe from the board addiction because I already have a Vans, Swatch Watch and musical instrument one 😂😂
@@1thess523 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏🙏
Gebs Videos brought me here! subbed. another fellow dad skater (35 years old).
Awesome and welcome. I don't have cool tricks like Gebs. He is the man‼️ thank you for checking out the Adventure.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding Gebs gets down! Inspiration to us all! Thanks for having me. If you need music hit me up.
I actually got the modus bolts on the my white deck just for the bright blue. And you said classic wheels, but from a distance I really thought you had G Bones. At 64mm those would be awesome with a 1/2" riser. This seems like a solid pool set up! Even though you brought it to the street...
The massive Airwalks were AWESOME! I expected some back foot power pushes (mongo in today's terms) ;) but excellent parking lot session sir!
And learned something new today, I've never used the sex bolts for the rails or tail bone, that seems like a good option for my next setup.
They are the G Bones. Wish I could find T Bones.
I got the sex bolts of the Sk8Kings website. That was the only place I could find them.
The board is a little flat if the bowl. I think I would feel real settled into the board in a wall. But it is fun and fast!
Thanks for checking it out.
Got this deck in 88 in lime green and it was the 1 to get away. Gonna get the reissue but would rather find an original for the wall. Until then gonna rock a reissue
It is a great board for the collection or to ride. Hope you are able to find an original.
For me it was the 1989 Tony Hawk Claw board in white with the green claw. I can't find an original that I am willing to pay for but I got the 2018 reissue right after I started skating again. I skated it and then was able to get Tony to sign it and now it is on my wall. Not the OG but the great reminder of what was and how grateful I am for skateboard now.
If you get boards from Steve's website you can easily get it signed. He is good about that.
I just got an oldschool setup for my 33th birthday last week (all brazilian brands) and I'm loving it! I don't think I will be riding a popsicle anytime soon hahaha
Happy late birthday. Awesome that you got a new old school whip.
I like a good shaped board, like Welcome. But this old school is a little flat. It is really fun but a nose would make it perfect. I am going to see if I can adapt and try and get some good tricks in it or at least get comfort enough on it to do the basics with some style.
Stay Rad Sir and and thanks for checking it out and communicating.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding cool man! I lost a feel tricks without the nose (noseslides and crooked grinds) and for some reason is really hard to heelflip. After a week I'm really comfortable with my basics (that's like 5 or 6 tricks hahaha) but I more focused on learning some oldschool and no comply tricks on this setup. It's really fun! I also want to find a cool spot with a curb to learn some slappyes. I'm thinking about make a video of my progress on this board, I think it would be cool
@@victor.skater 💯 agree. Going to use the board to master the basics. Definitely make a video‼️ Sundays for me is now spot hunting. I am in search of a real curb myself. We are both on the adventure Sir.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I just posted a small video with my oldschool, if you want to see it is here in my channel!
So, I'm NOT the only 80s kid that skated for a while and stopped & then retook after his forties !!!!! Age 13 til we moved outta the country now I'm 47.
@ Age 41 I bot 💸💸💸 at the Goodwill a Sector 9 26" about 7 or 7 & half something inches wide if I'm not mistaken(on the slimmer side)....but the trucks & wheels were 80's ish (tho Sector9 started in 1993(?) being Gullwing trucks & the wheels 61mm 78a and 35mm contact patch with conical lips but more of a radial diagram cuz CP so wide and sidewall has funneling towards the bearing lodging typical 80's wheels.
I've Amazon & bot 80's style board (brand name Moose) & also 80's style Vision board to use the 80's wheels that I like so much on these so I was lucky the person who donated this Sector9 actually had the idea of 80's trucks(?) and wheels(!)
I'm not 100% sure if Gullwing is 80's but the wheels definitely are,I know cuz I seen similar in shape on Amazon which says that they are 80 styles but I did put the Gullwing on the 80s deck that I bought but fortunately the Vision skateboard that I bought came complete( but the wheels were conical like modern skateboard styles (like you'd see on some Spitfires models )but 90a & these do also say Vision....hmmm ?
The fun part is putting together something you are excited about. I like to do the 80s boards and the new school boards. But what I really like is mixing the two together.
I am about to set up a G&S Neil Blender Modified 80s deck with some new school trucks and small street wheels. This board is going to be for somewhat early 90s skating.
Should be a good time.
You are a year older than me. I think people our age grew up at least with a board. we were all not "skaters" but it is part of who we are. As we got older we refound ourselves and skating is just part of it.
Stay RAD and thanks for checking out the adventure. Glad you are part of it.
U rad 2🤙
Appreciate You 🤙
Im happy that im 11 and im using 80’s boards instead of doing the fancy modern stuff people are doing nowadays. i have a globe 80’s board thats a complete but im thinking of getting some grip art for grip and maybe getting some G bones or mini cubics for wheels
Very cool. I think the mini cubics would be cool on an 80s board. I ride the mini cubics on my street board and I think they are great.
Stay Rad, keep skating your own style.
REally enjoyed this. I have always wanted to try using rails on my shaped decks but have always heard from friends that they can tear out. I had no idea that these "sex nuts" existed! Thanks for the new information now im gonna have to see if my local shop can get some for me.
You can get them off the SK8Kings website. They are a staple in my setups.
Note, Flight decks are too then for them.
new sub im 43 and getting back into it should be fun >,> and painful
Welcome back. How long has it been?
It is definitely a good time. There will be some slams but that is just part of it. Pad up when you feel uncomfortable (we get a free pass on pads in our 40s) and enjoy the ride. Stay Rad Sir.
I had that exact board as a kid in ‘88/‘89 with G&S trucks. I don’t remember what happened to it, but I’m kicking myself for not keeping it….☹️
We all have the one that got away 🙏.
G&S is my favorite skate company. I still buy and skate a lot of their reissues. Just refurbished a 78 fiberflex and built a full reproduction.
Hey bro!!!!!!
Hella cool!!!
Ahh man those are dope.
I broke both of those!!!
But to be fair I was new to 10 steppers.
And landed wrong. I use to have those hanging on my wall.
I remember watching search for bones I think?
it's an old skate movie. Can't remember the name.
I had thrasher on all my walls.
Thise were the days!
The cab is a good time for sure. No stairs for me. 😂 Nope
The Search for Animal Chin
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding that's it!!!!!!!!!! Holly cow I just had a flash back!! Lol!!!
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding those were the days of thrasher. I was like I can do steps. Nope!! Lol!!
Ha ha ha! Captain cool scoring grip with his oversize hunting knife. Good job Rambo. Nice shoes! LOL, Did you get them at a RUN DMC concert?
Good morning ‼️ Hope you feel better now after getting it all out. To be fair RUN DMC is awesome and I am old enough to have gone to an early concert. Stay Rad.
Nice to see and old G buy a board and actually skate it! all these geezers buying and never skating them is hilarious
I skate every board Sir. If there is one on the wall there is also one in the quiver ready to skate.
Thanks for checking out the video. Stay Rad
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding new sub right here!
Cool appreciate you being down for the adventure. Stay Rad
You would have paint markered that bones image back then 😉 I had several Guerreros
Awesome. The Nicky Guerrero mask reissue is one of my favorite shapes.
We all need an OG 80s board. It takes you right back.
Stay Rad.
Skating a board with a flat nose is one of the hardest things I have done in a while. Have you skated a 80s style deck before the nose had kicks?
Best griptape ever!
I had to edit that way down. I was problem solving for a hot minute 😂.
Sorry if I missed this, but does a “proper” board have truss head bolts or recessed flatheads for the trucks, tail guard, etc?
No idea, I set it up to skate it. Sounds right if I think back. However I am not building them as replicas. Hope I didn't give that impression. I am just setting it up to have a good time.
Stay Rad Sir.
What size was that bowl at 4:38 mark, badass btw.
No idea. I just picked one that created the best curve over the graphic. I would assume around 11 inches based on the way it fits the 10.5 inch wide grip tape.
Where did you find airwalks ?
I found on some weird website but you can now get OG air walks at JC Penny. www.jcpenney.com/s?searchTerm=airwalk&predSearchTerm=airw
I stopped skating for the same reason back in 89’.
Are you back skating now?
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding not anymore sadly. But I have thought about it a lot lately. Maybe I’ll make a comeback like you.
Definitely make a comeback. There are a lot of ways to skate and have a good time. Check out the video I did called start your adventure in skateboarding. That shows some of the different ways I go about it and why.
Stay Rad Sir.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I will. Thank you.
@@mapled3135 we have to make time for ourselves in order to be better for others.
does the tailbone help with ollies?
I don't think so. It does protects the tail from razor tail. Really it is just nostalgic for me to have it on there.
What size risers did you use on this?
I used a 1/4 and an 1/8 together. Seemed to work out well. It is still setup that way.
High Tops Fuckin Legit Too
Had to take it all the way back to 87 🤣
I know this is an old video but how many millimeter tall were the wheels?
G Bones are always 64mm. They only comes in one size. One of my favorites wheels for old school builds. Good for the street and the bowl.
Thanks for checking out the video.
Were you happy/comfortable with the 159s, or would you recommend using 169s?
Edit: I just reached the part of the video when you said you were happy with them. 😀 They look great on it! Now I’m wondering why I keep seeing people recommend 169s?
I think 169 would be big on this board. The board is 9.625 wide, not a full 10 inches. If 10 inches then I would probably go 169. The 159 seem to line up perfectly. I like my trucks even with the edge of the board.
Again thanks for checking it out. Stay Rad and look forward to hearing about your setup💯.
Soon, I hope!
169s are too big even for the 10in steve cab deck.
For sure 169s would have been sticking out.
You are in El Paso 👍 I'm in San Antonio
That were I started skating in Dec of 2017. I was just there for a year long school. Loved the skating there.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding cool 👌
Let's talk about adding weight and board size strategies. So you feel the board is smallish???
The board is heavy. And it feels like a short wheelbase under my feet. Front trucks are very far forward. There are a lot of adjustments to make in my stance to adapt. But all part of the adventure.
I've got same wheels wheeee
Can't go wrong with G Bones
What wheels are that?
GBones, Powell Peralta. The only come in 64mm.
I skated in the 80's I've been looking for sex bolts!
Sk8kings had the best ones I have found.
Where do you get the bolts?
Sk8Kings has the best ones.
Stay Rad
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding Thank you for that
I think there's a real opportunity to distribute 80's skate hardware to skate shops for all the 80's riders
Have you see the story of 'downstar' hardware for the automotive customization scene? He struggled to find hardware so sourced what he could and distributed it through a company, then went on to make his own custom hardware.
No but definitely an excellent idea.
I put up a video recently on a 1978 Fibreflex with a first Generation Gullwing HPG IV Truck and how I had to pay $150 to get a kingpin machined to fix the truck because they don't exist. There is a market out there if someone has the skills and resourcing to bring it all together.
How come the ace won’t fit I have Ace 66 on another Powell peralta but was thinking about getting this deck
The board has the old school truck pattern with the 2.5" bolt whole pattern. The ACE I had were not double drilled for the new and old school bolt pattern. They have a 2.125 bolt pattern.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
🙏 old school ♥️
It's called "Bats & Bones" because the negative spaces in between the bats form bones.
That is really interesting, I didn't know that. Appreciate it.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding No problem bro. I didn't see it until a friend pointed it out🤙
When I get home next week I am going to check it out.
It's a really cool board you wanna sell it by any chance🤣
No Sir 😂😂😂. I am going to skate the life out of it.
I would have covered the whole top of the deck in grip tape.
I like to change it up. This one called for a classic 80s grip job. But completely understand if doing more tech tricks. I am not 🤣.
Thanks for checking it out. Stay Rad
+ 10 80's-pts for corded drill! lol
Always Sir. Nothing worse than having a battery die on you. I have had this drill for 20 years. Solid as the day I got it. I have over tightened and stripped many screws with it 🤣.
@AdventuresInSkateboarding Memories; I remember my dad had the same drills for decades. I remember trying to drill things stronger than my 95lbs body and it was like a fun park ride that was willing to break your wrist. lol!
