After my first board I either ordered them from mags or bought them at Bobs Bikes where the NW alamo draft house is located. Remember Team Bruce?? He had a huge tourney out in Live Oak, after my friends and I got to hang out and skate a ditch with Todd Prince and Ken Fellion they were amatures but it was still cool. Do you remember when Rodney Mullen came to North Star Mall, damn he ripped it up inside Dillards. I still cant believe they let him skate in there. I still have my picture of Rodney and I, I was in the 8th grade. Those were the good old days, we use to skate all over dowtown at night and it was a ghost town then, now people are out in the streets all night it seems. Good times, Good times.
man...that was goodtimes...me and my friend used to read THRASHIN' and he swore that he met Tracy Peralta (sp?) once at a tourney...i don't know but i used to suck so hard at skating...lol...but it was fun...i think i was what was known as a "poser" lol

Anyone remember the store in NorthStar called Yaga? That stuff was sooo popular in the early 90's and then it just disappeared.

There was a Wright Sporting Goods on Main Ave close to Houston St. Actually I think it was owned by Alex Acosta
