After having some old-stuff of mine stored in my paper-father's garage and home for quite a few years I was finally able to retrieve it when my paper-brother who's driver's-license is from our paper-father's-home came back from The United States Air Force...
Among the items which crossed The International Border with us into Canada on the UHaul he was driving that day was what was remaining of my original-skate-board...
My original skate-board was purchased and assembled at Don Thomas Sporthaus Inc. on Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Hills (Michigan) The United States Of America and it was a medium-size-board with grip-tape added, medium-trucks with medium-yellow-wheels and with hard-yellow-truck-spacers...
This board provided years and hours of fun...
After going to an Northern Ontario Canada cabin and coming home to where I was living with my friend from high-school in Detroit (Michigan) The United States Of America I found the board snapped into two by one of his friends who was slightly larger than myself...
The board had already been accidentally-driven-over by a car...
When given the offer of another deck which was used I took The Dragon Board and applied my old-hardware to it...
When a wider-size of trucks came up for use I took them as well and applied them to my larger-surf-style-board...
There IT was among the possessions without my yellow-helmet, red & yellow knee & elbow pads, tan & sunburst leather-padded-gloves which were out-grown years ago, but still the original yellow wheels & truck-spacers were there...
The board was now a health-hazard to me with my age 40 approaching in a few years and with me being married-internationally...
I enjoyed smashing it on the apartment-garbage-dumpster...
I really recognized it's DEATH!
