Is that an original-issue Supercharger?

There are only 3 of those carbon ones...Micheal Brook, Grimmace, and Kaspar have one. Funny story, Kaspar had one too many one night, left it on the subway...lost forever, until I got an e-mail from a kid in Philly who ended up with it. He is like "I think I have Kaspar's board" after seeing some footage of him on it. He is sending it back to me, and I am giving him a deck of his choice in return. Kaspar won a bunch of races on that thing.

Awww hell yeah, original NASH Executioner. Dude, when I was a kid my neighbor had me convinced that thing was teh hotness, and made me feel bad about my Powell Caballero street model. This childhood incident was actually a driving factor in me buying an EW Executioner, lol...at least this time around it actually is teh hotness.

BTW, got a set of the new 76mm Superballs, only had a chance to take them for 1 run last night before the rain started. All I can say is they have that rolling momentum feel, like a run away train going downhill...can't wait to really take these things out.

my friend down the block had that board for the longest time until it got runover freshman year of highschool, i thought the earthwing graphic looked familiar heh i should pick one of for him. he'd prob #### his pants

The rich kid up the street had one when I was a kid, and I had a roller-derby that was like $10 cheaper (33% cheaper) so now I finally have one. I though putting the graphics from one of the crappiest decks ever on one of the more technically advanced decks was ironic.

**animal chin** · 02-01-2008 09:00 AM

XR-2 trucks fo life!

**stringtheory** · 02-01-2008 09:09 AM

Haha, I had a Roller Derby too! It was all red, black grip with a Grim Reaper type graphic on the bottom. I think it had red wheels. The wood was so strange that it was made of, like the worst compressed wood board and ply wood, but with a high gloss thick ass paint job.

edit: quick pic of a Red 70mm Superball next to the new 76mm.

**Wells** · 02-01-2008 09:15 AM

I had the worst first board ever. It was a Nash everslick from the early 90s with ~37mm wheels and trucks that weighed like 4 pounds each.

Dude, that was the deck, it had a skeleton sort of holding on to the trucks. That deck was so forgetable that I doubt you could even find an image of it...almost a waste of film. After that deck I got a skull skates, a pair of fingerless leather gloves, and a suicidal tendencies hat, and then a skateboarder was born.

Man don't laugh I actually learned to grind (bicycle racks) and do acid drops on that Roller Derby, Lol...then I stepped up the a Caballero, which my neighbor told me was crap compared to his Executioner! Haha...Good times...

Brian was the "heart" with an arrow through it and the word "you," for myself or Mark? (on one of the wheel packages sent to us) Since Mark is the Boss, I will assume it was for him. But honestly, I Love You too.

Thanks for no Bed Bath and Beyond bags too

**cindablock** · 02-07-2008 09:37 PM

can we get a little tease of the Mystery board?

idea...how about an old school shape board, like a Executioner version 2, like 10" x 31.25 with a 16" wheelbase and a spoon nose

**Stupendous Man** · 02-07-2008 10:28 PM

I think a wider pool/slide board with some shape would be sick too. I Love the shape of my skaterbuilt Cult II, and the Jay Smith, and I would really like to see what Brian could do with something like that. 10.25", fat tail, smallish nose, 17.5" WB and New drifter style Deeep concave.
However, I Really hope that the mystery board is what I think it is..........
