When it was time to set up a new complete board, I decided I wanted to do something special as it is probably the last skateboard I will ever assemble and ride.
I wanted to have some inspiration and history under my feet so I thought if I had some gear donated by some of my favorite skaters that would do the trick.

Thanks Mike, Lance and Jim!

I somehow ended up with a starring role in the 6/14/2010 (9th one) episode of Mondays With Mike V. Enjoy.
