<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9817544, member: 37"]When skateboards first came in, the kids all made their own here in the Midwest. My brother made one with metal roller skate wheels. He made it in shop class out of wood with 2 diagonal inlaid contrasting wood stripes. Pretty cool looking. I could never get the hang of it and he also tired of it after awhile. I think it may have ended up getting broken by one of the younger siblings later. </p><p><br /></p><p>The real craze with store-bought boards came later and I was a little too old to get involved by then, nor had the inclination. I occasionally see old boards out in the marketplace and wonder if they might have some value. They are always beat up and I don't know how much condition can be overlooked on them. Maybe will take a second look next time I see one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
