Around 2010 Prototype builds

These are some of the boards I was working on back around 2010. The V.E.S. Idea has been working on vintage boards for awhile. I wasn't refurbishing grip-tape back then, so I was learning to work around it.

The H-STREET was natty wood and separating.

I skated this refurbish board a lot at Spartanburg ,SC skate park. The Alva's where a Ebay buy for $30.00 they were in such bad shape!!

When I first got these boards they looked like stacks of over used paper plates!. 

I still ride these board today.

If done right you can ride for ever on an 

old skateboard! 

These were built to be skaters. Even back then I wanted my refurbished boards to be tough enough to skate.

The Liberty Mike Smith is mine. It's one of my last boards I had back in the day that 

I RODE HARD!!

 I'm still looking for one with some graphics.

The other boards are some experiments I was working on. Around this point in my skills I was still learning about the relationship between the wood and its graphics especially with vintage 80's boards.

These are a few decks I built to skate in the 2000s. All great boards but the Element Vallely is AWSOME!

As soon as it goes under my feet I feel Like Andy Anderson LOL !!
