My quiver

Whenever I give talks at schools, students often ask: "How many skateboards do you have?" I'm a little embarrassed to say I've lost count!

Here's part of my collection from my 30-year obsession. They range from the Hobie Super Surfer (front board in second photo) the clay-wheeled wonder I received from Santa on Christmas Day, 1972, to my off-road Mountainboard (the one with the balloon tires).

What can I say. Some women collect shoes...

As long as you don't own a "GT Coyote III" your collection will be incomplete ;o)
