Same Old Trip It Was Back Then


A friend of Mongo's just built up an old school skateboard. It's a Powell Vallely with Indy 169's and OJ wheels. It is a sweet ride...but it's also a dinosaur.
Heavy, wide, flat...it has no place in modern skateboarding. That is exactly why I love it.

This board comes from a time and a place where flow and style were king. I don't care how many obstacles you can ollie up, down, or over...give me a smooth backside air any day.
