I had no idea you were an old skater. I still own the Ripper deck, though in beat-up condition. Definitely one of my all time favs. Thanks for posting that link. -josh
[Oh yeah, I was way into all the skate aesthetics--really eye-opening for me in a big way. There was just nothing else remotely close in rural Illinois, and I had my whole bedroom door covered in skate stickers.
Unfortunately I'm surreally physically uncoordinated & I kinda hate pain, so I never got good at the actual skating, to say the least. I took photos at events, drew pictures (loving paint-pen recreations on school gear), published a 'zine--and for all that I got called a "poseur"; painful. I guess "budding designer/photographer" wasn't really in other 13-year-olds' lexicons. --J.]
