Cool Skateboard Looks like it's in real nice shape. The rider on the round sticker looks a lot like Gregg Weaver . Gregg was on the cover of the 1st Skateboarder magazine. Thanks for sharing Here's a few words about Gregg , Cheers ! https://skateboardinghalloffame.org/2020/04/gregg-weaver-2017/

I have always greatly appreciated skateboarding and the history of it. Never was a big skateboarder though due to growing up where there wasnt a place to skate....
Had a decent collection of old sidewalk surfer wood boards up until a few years ago.

I used to skate a lot when I was younger. They are fun to collect & fun to use as an art medium!

Made from Pallets & painted by me...

@Lonestar , your artwork is super . I knew the Dog town crew pretty good. I Surfed with Jay Adams a few times . Skated with a bunch of 'em at various times. A friend made a comment looking at a picture of me skating in the first skateboard contest I entered in . He says to me " Look , it's Tony Alva taking lessons from you " You can see Tony in the upper right side in the photo . He's the one with the crazy hair. I had to laugh when he said that..................because Tony was a damn tough competitor !! The contest was the "Hang Ten World Pro Am " in 1975 . Here's the photo

Yep . In the picture shown , from left to right - Mark Bowden -Bryan Beardsley - Laura Thornhill- Ty Page (RIP) and myself - Ty has been inducted into the Skateboarding hall of fame . Laura has recently taken over duties as the Big Chief of operations for running the H.O.F. . It was previously run by Brian Logan . Good work on finding that photo @Lonestar !
