>>1698978Dude, I loved skateboards in the late 80's/early 90's but I was just a small child & didn't have any older brothers or anyone to teach me how to skate so I never really learned 'til '96. & then I got pretty decent & assimilated to the whole late 90's skateboard culture (hip-hop - bleh!) & the widest boards I ever skated were like 7.75. But now I watch the 1990-92 videos & am blown away & skating a 8.25 for the first time. Busting tre flips & shit. Might eventually switch to 8.5 or wider. Feels good.
