Most of my skate decks, The Element was my first pro deck from back in the day, The Death deck is just heavy and shit quality so stopped using it, The Black Label & The Firm were couple I scored.
The Vision deck was a close mates originally but passed it onto me.
The Anti-Hero deck is my current setup I drilled new holes to use my Indie trucks, But thinking of going back to an old school deck thanks to Rotten's information.
I've got a few blank decks which I've got plans for artwork of my own.
Sold the Anti-Hero deck to a close friend so I bought the Zero to replace it.

That Vision deck is great. Looks like the Powell tail bone is still on it and it used to have Santa Cruz cell block raisers too. Very cool man.

Thanks mate!
Sure is, A bit damaged but still in alright shape! I've got standard riser pads and the cell block (pointed directional) ones to! Just not on it because I've got em stacked is all, But I've got so much gear, Got original Bones wheels too.
If I was to keep using it I'd grab some new slide rails for it, Or thinking just getting another deck in general.

Nice Black Label and Anti Hero decks. I was thinking of getting Anti Hero's Andy Roy or Grosso or Cardiel deck for me to skate. I have a Heroin skateboard too. The vision deck is nice, even though the painting just thrashed!
Old school decks are cool but difficult for modern complicated tricks. I can do some but mostly skated in to the bowl/ditch/pool. Get it if you like to skate around. Cant go wrong with Powell, Santa Cruz, Vision, Hosoi, Sims, etc... Creature has some old school inspired shapes and even a DIY deck that you can create!
Any ways skateboards meant to be ridden and possibly thrashed and then put it on the wall!

Thanks mate.
Haven't done much skating lately, Got this week off gonna try hit up the park, The BL deck is to narrow, I got it for the artwork, Haven't used a BL deck personally, Yeah the Vision is thrashed but still goes alright, Would love to get a re-issue or something.
What's Heroin decks like?
Yeah I've not skated in years I suck so bad now, Can't do fuck all except ride, Plus did my sciatic nerve a while back so at times I don't do shit.
But going to get back out and cruise and just try some simple shit.
The BL and Firm will be on the wall because their small for what I use, Unless I get another two then I'll try em for fun.

Thanks Doc!
They have come down a bit! Shipping is costly when it comes to skate decks though. Especially overseas.

Old school skateboards are great! Im thinking in buying one of these but shipping is more expensive than deck hahaha https://anthrax.backstreetmerch.com/skate-decks/retro-skater-guy
