        @TENDREL I started on a banana board (we didn't call them Penny boards back then) and got my first big board after Back to the Future (A Variflex) and then my first pro deck was a Hosoi Hammerhead a few years after that...

              There is a great series on Thrasher called "This Old Ledge" where Feedback Ted explores the architectural and skating history of old spots. Great watch for both the old heads and youngins.

              Today's episode is on Wallenberg

                Been skating since I was 14, so almost 30 yrs. Used to manage an indoor skate park/shop back in Vermont and worked at a skate company when first moved to SF in 2008. Dont get out as much as I used to but still get down here and there. Live close to waller, and everything in SF is a skate spot. Haven’t skated that much since March of this year. Broke my arm, didn’t heal right/or at all. Got surgery end of July, and my Arm been so much better, post surgey. Could feel my bone move and hear it grind before surgery it sucked. Like 2 weeks after surgery, I was skating flat ground after work, trying take it easy. Ate shit and almost fucked up my 6 screws/arm all over again. Thankfully I was alright took slam on knee and elbow, but Was a wake up call. I was bombing into work, and that could’ve been way worse hit a rock, car etc. Since then just been walking in to work, so not tempted to skate. Till my arm is back to 💯. I’ll be back though, itching

                  @TENDREL rad video, thanks for sharing. I remember the first time I saw Wallenberg. I had moved from the UK to SF for college and just happened to be staring out the bus window….i lost my mind and immediately got out. It was surreal to be a place that I had seen on videos/mags. Special place. I wonder if they’ll do a video on Hubba Hideout

                              Oh nice! Such a great time being there. I graduated in 2014. Man, I had so much fun skating around the city then. A lot of good spots around, but the hills are my favorite thing ever.
                              Way too scared to bomb em like I used to these days 😂

Friends since back in Vermont and major reason I moved out to SF 16yrs ago and def stayed was cuz of him our brother hood. He put out a lot of sick parts over the years but this last one extra special. Love and miss him everyday.

                                  @meatmarketdenim1 super sick skating man. I love those infamous SF bomber run outs after a gap trick or the like.

                                  Did something happen to your buddy Dave?

                                          @meatmarketdenim1 Oh bro...such a sad story. Sorry to hear things turned out like they did. Sounds like he was a rad dude who was loved dearly.

                                          I have a sadly, similar story myself. My buddy Ross. Since we were both 18, we skated together every single day. As we grew older, we continued to skate and go through our young party years. We were best friends for 15 years until we sort of grew apart. I pursued education and matured, he seemed stuck in his adolescence and rutted out.

                                          The saddest part of the story, he always wanted to start his own skate company. He talked about it all the time in all our years skating together. He finally got his shit together and somehow got it off the ground. He moved to Vegas and made it happen! He started a company called Colonial and they were doing great!

                                          One night coming home from a party he crashed his motorcycle and it all came to an end. I too have his boards as momentos and keep them on the wall.

                                          Thanks for sharing your story man. And thanks for letting me share mine. Our brothers will live on forever this way!

                                          In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
