    If you did then you might be able to help me remember something that is really bugging me. Must have been between 88-91 there was a skate film shown on a kids tv show and Im sure it was called 360. Does anyone have any more info as I can find this anywhere on the web.

    Also if you used to skate who had a Death Box board? I had a Pete Dosset and also I still have a tpot unused sticker. Must be extremely rare now :)

    Finally any good skate vid suggestions? Please add year if you know it.

    I will start :)

    I used to ride either Death Box or Perralta boards, Indy trucks and can't for the life of me remember who made the wheels!
    Too old for shorties now so I've got a mahoosive long board for getting about on!

    Wheels of fire was good
    A few Bones Brigade films as well.
    There was one called something ".... The cube" but can't for the life of me remember the rest of the title but it was a classic!
    Can't remember 360 though!

    Yup Indy trucks too and G-Bone Wheels.

    Maybe Slimeballs?

    Will look into the cube one see if I can find it out. Yer the 360 one is bugging me.

    What DB board was it?

  16. I started in the 70's with a bit of wood and an old rollerskate...fixed trucks so got used to kick turning early, first proper board was a Grentec Coyote...then moved to wooden ones..allways wanted a Fibreflex with gold wing trucks and red kryptonics, still got two boards...one gets a lot of use carrying welders, metal sheers and was useful for my vw lump, last went boarding 5 years ago and stacked bad...got more corners on me now, took 6months to heal, gonna take the kids this summer and try not to kill myself...cool, good memories 8)
