[BoardAbuser]

Sick!!Thats so awesome that you met Tony Alva!Dude your life is awesome.

Everyone will probably hate me for saying this haha, especially seeing how this is my first post. But my I think Tony Alva is beyond over rated...if anyone wants to go round and round about this I do have somethings to back up my reasons for thinking that way about the Z-Boys

[windustries101]

Everyone's entitled to their own opinions...no matter how stupid they are... and I see Tony Alva still skates oldschool decks... I wonder if he can do any new school tricks at all...

[emericask8ter]

i don't really know tony alva, but he seems pretty cool

[Authentic]

I live in Socal and Ive seen Alva around Long Beach, Santa Monica, and Venice he just rides the pools doesnt do much but cruise...But hey he is 47 haha. I just always thought it wasnt fair to give three guys all that credit for a style that tons of people were doing.

But then again Z-boys were in Santa Monica so all the attention was focused on them. I dont want to talk too much sh*t cause it'll never end.

[PopwarPunk]

Erm... Don't be baggin' on the 47 year olds.... One of our coolest members is at that prime age.

[Authentic]

Oh no way bro...like ive said before the older dudes I look up, like my pops hes 47 and his crew would battle Alva's Z-Town V.S. G-Town (Gardena Cali) I watch his old ass film he has all the time. The style back then was so pure...

Which is probably why Im against Alva and the rest of the Z boys cause I mean hey gotta roll with the family hahaa...So Im gonna be bias with anything I say

I got mine set up with Indy 215 Trucks, Alva 97A Wheels and German Bearings, can't remember which ones. Grip tape job is awesome with Alva logo you can see in other pictures. Guy on Ebay did a really nice job setting it up.
