The evolution of my 484

I don't get to ride very much which means, for me, I don't ever buy new boards because there is no point. Over the years this board has been through a lot and has been sanded, painted, and resealed 3 or 4 times. Here are the pics hahaha.

Started as a board ridden by Chase Gregory

David Hanson shredded this thing hard and spraypainted it a ton

It was given to me and I fixed it up, painted and gripped it (first pic)

It was sharpied a LOT

It was sanded and painted AGAIN this time green

It was then recently sanded and gripped AGAIN this time wood finish

I remember riding GVW's 484 and it was such an awesome skate. I had the Cassette version and when we would ride, I would shred his board. I know they were supposed to be the same but for some reason i liked the 484 more

They may have stolen cassettes shape but no doubt they were (and still are) good boards.
