Mandy's Shower 8.29.11

Powell Peralta Rat Bones

How awesome are these.  These were the wheels on the first skateboard I ever had.  I was like 10 or something so they did not get ridden very hard and are still in crazy good shape.  They went in towards the bearings so the graphics did not get worn off instantly like most of todays wheels.  And different graphics on each side.  I would pick up a set of the reissues of these of they made them a little softer.  I would love to have a couple sets of these in about 80a.

Green Banana Skateboards

Just got this board, it is made by green banana skateboards.  

1/2 inch thick with a little nose and tail, no concave. Made of some kind of plastic and 

came with clear grip.  

I set it up with Indy Stage 10's and Cadillac wheels.  The trucks have Khiro insert bushings, red

in back and blue in front.  The wheels are 56mm and 78a.
