My Deck Collection (Batch 3)

This is the third post / photo batch of my deck collection. 

 

 

 

Danny Way (H-Street reissue): This was his first pro model. I was never a fan of these graphics (esp. compared to what was going on with Santa Cruz, etc.), but well, it was D. Way so I had to get it (at the time, and later as a reissue).

 

Danny Way (Blind re-issue): Danny had two decks on Blind. This was the second one. I loved Blind, and it was really cool when he ended up riding for them. I actually bought this one to ride (as these decks are in constant production, unlike many other reissues I have), but more on that later.

 

 

  
Dogma III (Brand-X reissue): These graphics are also quintessential “1980s” and Brand-X. I had one of these as a kid, and thought it was magical. Always loved the graphics, and was shocked/amazed/ecstatic when Brand-X reissued it. It’s just a fantastic piece of 1980s artwork.  

 

 

 

 

Corey O’Brien (Santa Cruz reissue): I never had one of these as a kid. I always though the graphics were pretty cool, but over time (and thanks to Neil Blender) this deck has become more and more of iconic 1980s skateboard. When Santa Cruz put out these colors, I got one, more as a cool piece of 1980s art to hang on the wall, than because of any personal attachment to it. “It’s 2025, boys. It’s time to reissue the skeletons.”

 

Danny Way (Blind original): This was another of my original decks that I kept. The main reason I kept this? It was the first board I dropped in on a vert ramp with (at Z.T. Maximus  skatepark in Cambridge, MA).
