Anyone else going to the Tony Hawk/Rodney Mullen deal tonight at ACL/Moody?

Took my 17 year old skater son. I think I enjoyed it more than he did because I grew up skating in the 80s. 

Well duh!  I hope he enjoyed it, and felt the love all of us clearly have for Tony, Rodney, and skateboarding.

Got 1 more grail I'll start hunting in a month or so when the coffers have had a chance to fill back up - Kevin Staab Mad Scientist.

Just bought my final grail for $710 last week and spent a couple of days dry heaving and reconsidering my life/values.

Still having some issues swallowing that price tag, but now that it's in my hands....just so damn beautiful!

There's a couple on ebay, but there's something off about that deck - the shape isn't correct, imo.  It should be very wide at the front trucks, super narrow hips at the back trucks and a pronounced flair out for the tail.  If I move and get a bigger wall, maybe I'll add it to my collection, but for now, I'm out of room and I am done spending.  Just bought my final grail for $710 last week and spent a couple of days dry heaving and reconsidering my life/values.

Someone just put a bunch of decks they're going to sell in a gif and you can really see what I'm talking about with the shapes here.  The 2 on the right are what I expect for a Neil Blender deck.  The Faces deck just looks so blah shaped.

That shape felt off to me as well, so I did a little poking around. 

Apparently this deck is referred to as a modified reissue because it is in fact on a different shape. 

Makes perfect sense as a rider, and obviously a heck of a lot cheaper than an OG if it's just going to hang on the wall.

Finally got everything hung.  Overall, I'm so fucking stoked at how it came out.  It's nice when you envision something and it comes out on target.  Definitely grumpy about the top row spacing, as I fucked that up pretty badly, but I'll live w/ it.

The more clips I see of this kid, the more I love his style.  Whimsical, creative as fuck and just supremely talented.  Got a little Rodney/Daewon in his blood.

Hadn't been looking for any more decks as I don't have the wall space, but there was 1 out there I've always had an eye out for.  Not a real popular skater, brand or deck, but one of my best friends used to ride it back in HS, and he was hands down our best skater.  Pretty stoked to get it in finally.
