meet dora, dora the explorer! yes, named after the famed PBS adventurer!"



Oh no... your board is not named after the Dora of Dora the Explorer. Any SoCal locals wanna explain that one?

the lighter flints work a bit, not as well as i had wished, although some kids were pretty stoked on the sparks the other night. i might put another dozen in and see what happens, or maybe a different shape or size of flint.

i got some durian 86a wheels, man those things sllliide like mad, scared to go fast in them. super fun gettin a grove and throwing noisey checks on each turn. just gotta sack up and commit to the standing 180s now.

gravity just came out with blue 83a wheels. gotta try them out soooon. hoping to hit up cardiff tomorrow night.

If someone has a very good condition old school BAHNE fiberglass skateboard, I would buy it.

Wish I kept the ones I had. I had 2 back in the day and rode them constantly. Great boards. Upgraded to tracker trucks and Stoker wheels, and then eventually wheels my Dad and I manufactured.

Oh, I didn't tell you guys about the time I went into the skateboard business with my dad. Newspaper article in the San Diego Union and also on CH 8 News back in '76 or so.

A good story for another day . . .
