you see that older style SANTA CRUZ board. I had that and I had the snowboard to go with it, because my Jeff Brushie (Burton) was stolen.
- sherman0
the brushie with the fish bone? that was a nice board
- sephil0
the first brushie was really cool, the colors was wiked! But cool shape
- JazX0
yeah the Brushie with the Fishbone dude. It dates me, I know. ;)

my first snowboard was an old crazy banana. super yellow. that brushie set off the freestyle movement. that was when pochahontas came out. that was a sick movie. with noah salasnick

The salasnick was very beautiful sleak too but the construction of the Sims of this years was shit... It was my first snowboard destroyed before the end of the first season.
Skateboarding & snowboard design is the reason why I'm in graphic design right now. I wanted to have cool job and making illustration for board seams cool for me... at the time we was looking at David Carson Transworl skateboarding magazine. No surprise it influenced us.

I think Jeff Brushie died, didn't he?
- JazX0
or was that Craig Kelly?
- sherman0
craig kelly unfortunatly died in an avalanche here in bc this winter. As for jeff brushie i think hes smoking crack with russel winfield.
sephil- i totally agree. these 2 sports have giving me and taught me alot. skateboarding pretty heavily influences most aspects of todays urban culture.

Terje was always my favorite back then, or Noah what's-his-face. He was good too. I miss those days of VHS Snowboard video pot smoking days. Hee, hee ;)

Im glad to finally see a topic that moves me. I totally agree with all that has been said. Way back when I started skating it was the old Vision-psyco and Gonz models that moved me. Santa Cruz-Jason Jesse, Claus Grabke ect. but Transworld is where I got these great visuals of type, color and photos that pretty much made me who I am today. Who wouldve thought? David Carson, bless that man.

skateboard got me stoked on music when i was like 12. i used to go to punk shows and skate the launch ramps and minis and fuck myself up. we would skate all night and drink slurpees. then the punk got louder and the beer arrived. i loved the dead kennedies, the old h-street team, alva with bill danforth.
then came world industries and basically changed the world of skateboarding. oh and the new deal team used to rip as well!!but i love that time. skateboarding and snowboarding good shit!!
not to mention how great board graphics where: http://steveshook.com/oldschool/…
