Haha! 🤣 💯

Well said!!! 💯🙌👊

Awesome! Thanks so much 🙏👊

Right on!!! 🙌

Awesome! Glad to hear that he took good care of you.

For the headset, I would get this: www.porkchopbmx.com/tioga-beartrap-2-bmx-bicycle-headset-1-threaded-w.html And my bottom bracket is from Hutch, but they’ve been sold out for a while. You’ll need an American one. Depends on your cranks, if you have them already.

Yes!!! Those are all great. I especially love Lush!!!

@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood sir someone should make a skate video and put lush in it I always thought they're soaring vocals would match soaring Aires from ramps perfectly!!

Great idea ❤️

Right on!!! 👍

I hear you about being fragile as we get older, gotta a little be more careful these days!

I don’t know, but they do have Instagram and Facebook. 👍

These are the 80s Rat Bones shape in the original Dragons formula, which is a bit different than Han those new Nano Rats 👍

@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood gotcha…how do you like the, compared to the Rat Bones?

@@braystar1782 I haven’t tried the nano rats, they are a modern shaped, smaller wheel and I’ve been riding old school board with bigger, fatter wheels lately. I still love the Dragons formula Rat Bones shape though!

@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood that’s what I meant. How do you like the Dragon Formula in the Rat Bones shape compared to the actual Rat Bones?

@@braystar1782 They’re great. Softer like an old school street wheel, but performs like a harder wheel. I’m happy 90% of the time on speed, but they are a tad slow on the super smooth wide open sections of my local park. On the regular street or tighter sections of the park, the are absolutely amazing

That’s so cool!!! Something special about sharing a hobby like this with your dad 🙌

Nice! I’ll have to check those out.

There’s actually a really nice scene in STL through the years. The skaters are just scattered all over the place in pockets. You just gotta get plugged in…

Most likely 🙌

Absolutely 💯🙌

Appreciate that 🙏

🙌👊

Interesting!!!! I remember the slick boards back in the day, but I don’t remember this one. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Right on, and how cool to grow up so involved in a skate shop. I love it!!! ❤️🤯🙌

As in the Weddle Grab? That’s awesome 🤯 I’m not sure how much longer the park will be there, but hopefully they find a new spot soon. 🙏

💯 Yes, the no comply era was fun indeed 🙌🙌🙌

That’s awesome. Glad to hear it 🙌

Yes! I know sometimes skaters and bikers have turf wars at the skatepark, but as a guy who loves both... it's fun to see when your heroes have such cool stories from both sides too. Love it! Thanks for watching, my friend! 👊

Thanks for sharing those insights. It's been 2.5 years now. Hard to believe. The first year, long covid zapped all my energy and I was pretty lethargic ALL the time. Covid pneumonia robbed me of oxygen and nearly took me out. It took a few months for my lungs to heal and show clear in the x-rays. And then a bit over a year ago, something just snapped and I started getting my energy back, like all the sudden. I'm still a bit out of shape from not being as active for so long, but I feel like I'm completely over the long covid stuff. But either way, I'll take a look at those suggestions just for general immune system support. Thanks again for all the encouraging feedback and comments. 🙏 👊

Thanks so much. Yes, it was pretty crazy and scary at the time, as I got pretty close to kicking the bucket when I was in the hospital. But thank God, I came through and I'm all good now.

That's awesome. I remember that feeling going from my sister's hand me down 70s banana board to my first wide deck, and it was like... whoa, this is a game changer. But it looked funny at firstl.

That's awesome. I find working on bikes and mechanical stuff to be a great stress reliever. Very therapeutic! :)

Yahoo!! Rad indeed. So stoked the wait is finally over!! Totally worth it :)

Thanks. I'm still loving this bike!!!

Thanks so much. I wanted it to be as much like the ones I wanted back in the day, without causing me to completely go broke. I think the compromises worked out. Mike D Hot Streak!!!! 🤩 🙌

Right on!!! Thanks for watching and chiming in! 🙏

Thanks so much!! It was a long time coming, but I'm stoked with the end result. 😎

It sure is. Lots of good times have been had skating that little bowl!!!

Awesome!! 🤜🏻 🤛🏻

Thanks so much!!! Feels good to be able to enjoy it as I had dreamed it up. 🧞

There's just something cool about the rotor!!

Awesome!!! Thanks for the feedback 🙌

💯 I totally hear you. That GT mallet knockoff that I replaced it with was $25 and it was totally solid. Just didn’t play the part. 🤣

Well said! 🙌

Awesome! Hank’s for chiming in! Great memories indeed 🙌

Right on!!! 👊

Thanks! 🙏

That would be awesome, but they are just so expensive 🤯

@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood Dont let that stop you.

@@user-jv6hn1wy1s I hear you. Maybe some day, enough people will watch my videos that I can buy one with my KZfaq earnings 🤣

@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood You could start a paper route.

@@user-jv6hn1wy1s It would have a MUCH higher ROI than making videos 🤣 “I’m going to start a paper route right now” -Pee Wee Herman, as he finally get’s his bike back from the nuns on the movie set 🤣💥
