Johnny Reno's old school skateboard parts.

Jon owns a bar that my friends and I like to go to, Johnny Reno's at the end of the St. Pete Pier.  He also owns a surf shop, Reno Beach in St. Pete.  He is a good guy and I have had a bunch of skateboard conversations with him.  A few of us went for dinner at Johnny Reno's Sunday and Jon gave me this bag of old school plastics.  There was some cool stuff in there, check it out:
My buddy Charlie snagged this and a set of Powell orange rails.  I offered to trade a green bird for this but he wouldn't do it.

These are awesome.  I can't figure out if I should use or save these.





Then we rode Jon's Hamboard for a little while and watched the sunset from the pier.

most of my skateboard quiver

And Princess Sparkle.

I used to hate when people called a bunch of their skateboards a quiver.  Then after I took this picture I tried ti think of another word for it.  Quiver it is.  Damn it.

Nash Sidewalk Surfer

At one time this was it.  I could live with the deck and trucks if there was nothing else but I tried to ride this thing around the block and clay wheels make me grumpy.  It is not possible to ride this on bumpy parts of the road.  Either roads used to be smoother or those skaters from back then were way crazy.

Old Red Composite? Board

This hangs in my friends garage.  It seems fun, but the bearings are in pretty bad shape.  I have a Penny Skateboard on the way that should be similar to this, just a little shorter, but with modern wheels and bearings.  I do not know about the trucks, or if they use standard mounting holes.  I will give them a try but have a set of Halftracks here that need a home.  Mmmmm... Penny deck, Tracker Midtracks, maybe some 62mm Bennett Alligators.  It sucks waiting on shipping.
