Those were the best rails, I took them off of my Afterburn and put them on a bunch of other boards.

My first board was a H Street Danny Way, the giant holding a giant board
Indys, 149 or 159's
Powella-Peralta white T Bones 67mm 95a's, switched to OJ II pink Street Razors in a 58mm 95a's
German bearings
Would make a cool cruiser if I could piece one together.

There was a Black Knight me and a friend took turns on, but that wasn't my board. Outside of a multitude of fiberglass and wood boards Buzz gave me in the 70's ( I wish I could remember the brand names ) and a Sure Grip blank, my first legit board was a 1983 Sims Hosoi with Indys and City Street Wheels. This was pre Alva fish and before the hammerhead. The graphic of the rising sun was so popular, after Hosoi left, Sims continued to produce it as the Kamikaze. Probably a pretty cheap move on Sims part but a smart marketing one. Buzz ( my moms high school boyfriend ) and my Godfather started Smoothill, originally selling surfboards, they became a skateboard distributor. They made City Streets which were kinda like the Spitfires of their time and Seaflex boards. Anyone remember the Boom Cat?

The Boom Cat was Bob DeNikes' model right? A friend had one back then. It was giant 11x31 I think.

Yes... I do think it was! A big board indeed-- There was another one too I think it was Mark Edwards pro model. One with a Betty boom cat or something to that effect, a bit smaller-- Wow Chuck. I didnt think anyone would remember those boards, how awesome!
