1992

[elastic back]

I actaully bought a set of Firm 37.5mm wheels.  25 bucks and they were useless and only got more useless as the minutes went on while riding them

are you serious? with 37.5mm wheels, you are asking for a pebble toss!

55mm+.  I've pretty much committed to Bones' ditch tech formula for life.

I remember rocking 49mm at one time in the 90s. Also had these corduroys that were really meant for a grown man, but I cut the legs off exactly at the ankles so they looked like those ridiculously huge pants I saw in magazines and shit.

I was 5 in 1992. I knee styled it on an old school Wal-Mart Nash 'till I was like 10 and by that time it was the Muska, tall ass Fury trucks with dooks short stacks and huge wheels. I liked that era, the late 90's. Does anyone remember JNCO's?
8's are where it's at, I think people are starting to realize that skateboarding isn't about one style anymore. If you wanna skate everything, you need a proper axe to do it on. You don't need to skate a ceiling fan blade to do 360 flips.

unfortunately. please tell me you didn't have some.

[Babe, Mr. Ruth if you're Nasty]

Fuck black and white wheels. Orange is where it's at. These wheels are amazing. I ride 56mm. I'm down with OJ, Spits too. 54+ Spits are all their wheels that I ride.

I just remember they were like the quintessential HUGE fuckin' pants.

Eight Ball bitches.

Bilnd jeans were the shit back then too, and I had one pair of Markovich's Tea-Bags.  horrible.

Damn you Pacific Drive and all of your cool influence on a young me!!

[C H U C K]

I remember laughing at all the phat jeans people back then with their flares dragging about.

[pawnzito]

God, I just remembered shaved eyebrows. That shit was weird

[dtotherob]

It was '92 and I was not to savvy.  I currently am riding some nice 54mm Koston Spits.  Anyone remember those New Deal (I think) wheels that were "low profile" that had a riding surface of maybe 15 or 20mm?  Another set of awful wheels I had back then were a set of Daredevils (made by Consolidated) with the plastic cores.  They were 43mm, I believe, and after a while the wheel started spinning around the plastic core instead of the bearing.
