Ever take it off any sweet jumps?


My new Cold War deck is sick. It's got a nice squarish tail and it feels really light, even with 8" Krux, 58 mm Bones STFs, and Rockin' Ron's Ceramics (stage one--hey dude, get your product line straightened out). The concave is just right. Only one slight pressure crack as of yet.
I've only skated it a little (ONE session on a micro-mini) and a couple kickflips in the yard, but I know I'll love it for months to come. I need to get out more, but with 3 kids and a house and 2 cars to maintain, it's getting harder.
It's harder still to get any pictures, so all I could post was that lame trendy one at the top. Someday I'll start bringing my photographer wife with me.

Hey, That's a nice package you've got there!

So awhile back I won this contest, and a package came yesterday!


Let's open the box and see what's inside!


Why, I wonder what it could be!


Holy smokes, it's a skateboard and other stuff! Now I know what all the top pros feel like every day.


Wow, a kick ass 8 inch Cold War Strike skateboard! Before now I had only dreamed of owning one of these and only seen them in the movies and print. I thought they were only for kings and billionaires. It's got a nice squarish tail and deep concave. Perfect for parks and bowls!



And a bunch of stickers, Old Kooks shoe laces, grip tape...my goodness, I got more than I hoped.


It's a start.


I've said it before and I'll say it again, winning skateboard contests is OK, but winning Photoshop Internet skateboard contests is way better. Thanks Kilwag, Grover, and everyone who voted for me-you know who you are. To top it all off, someone found my keys that I lost almost 2 weeks ago. What a great day.
