Well its coming up to 28 Years Selling Skateboards in the Tricities area, including Kingsport, Bristol, Johnson City, Erwin, Greenville and about a 100 mile Radius around our home base in Johnson City, Tn. When I started out with Decks in 1990 i had maybe 5 skater kids in the neighborhood. I had skated some in the early 1970's. Around 1974-75 to be exact. My first skateboard was a Clear Orange Plastic Shark Skateboard. I was 8-9 years old and I loved that board. My brother and I shared it. We also got a Huffy Thunderroad BMX style off road BMX bike. Along with the other neighborhood kids we built ramps, Drt trails in a vacant lot that had grown up. I will assume it to be one of the first BMX trails/track made specifically for BMX bikes. CIRCA 1975. Man we had a blast. The best time to ride was right after a big spring or summer rain. We would spray water out of puddles in the road and slide on the dirt trails in the mud. Those were some good time. We had a small crew. about 5-6 of us on any given day. Riding the roads of Cimarron!
