I had a Variflex skateboard from Sport Check. It was not cool in the least. |
I had that Vision Gator with a slightly different color scheme.
My first skateboard was a StreetSucker purchased from Woodwards. Skateboarding was HUGE at that time. Everybody for miles around had a skate, and two houses on our street had built pipes. We even had a ramp we would setup in the middle of the street. One kid down the street had the exact same skate as me. He said I copied him because he got his first. Yeah, like he got his on Friday and I got mine on Saturday and we saw each other on Sunday type thing.
After about a year we were both talking about getting new decks. Everybody was ditching the department store skates and going to the skate shop and getting a pro model. Well, on the same day we both wound up getting a new deck and all the top brand name parts. We both got Vision Gator. He was mad at me for copying him again even though it was pure coincidence. He had a new Tony Hawk a week later.
