    I'd love to see more modern skaters shred on different board types like some pro surfers tend to. It seems in surfing the newer boards arent necessarily seen as "better" but just different. Older boards are still radical enough to film some video parts with. Kolohe Andino blasting airs on an 80s twin fin looked sick!

    In 1975 I had a Zephyr board. I moved the back wheels back a few inches so I could carve better. I was a surfer, not really a skateboarder. it was a fun board since it had just the right amount of flex - I ended up giving it to some neighborhood kid in CA before I moved back to HI.

    We skated and partied as kids but he had some deep shit going on but always kept his head up. Skating one day and a kid walked in the park "Kenny, Jay died". It didn't hit me till I got home. Devastating, he had a good heart and a great skater.

    Haven’t skated in 40 years
    The Dogtown crew lit a fire in me back then
    I forgot how I was first introduced to there crew?? Surf Movie or the magazine but we immediately started searching for empty pools we could skate some were in yards that people lived in the house and we’d have a rotation of kids watching riding bikes around there were no BMX bikes you were cool with a banana seat sissy bar and high handlebars?? Can’t remember who made them back then
    Long Beach, N.Y. Representing
    I’m going out this weekend and buying a Z Flex board
    I can’t surf anymore do to a car accident and herniated discs but I just realized I could still skate!! At 67 years old

    No disrespect to Tony Alva or Stacey Peralta, both TOP of the game but Jay was the edge that everyone else dropped in from. He battled heavy demons but always seemed more grounded and was the cutting edge. Even Tony Alva learned from Jay. R.I.P BRO.
