There were all these older rippers there. A couple dudes I remembered were Tom Inouye and Chris Strople. They both rode Caster decks. They were these awesome thin composite decks. So I bought them and rode them. Fast forward 25 years. When Charlie and I did our transaction with Watson Lamintes in 2005 I did not really know of the full history going on here. Watson made Caster boards. Probably the very boards I rode when I started skating. Crazy. Lo and behold Chris Strople shows up at WLHQ in San Diego a few ago and I got to get a shot with him here with a vintage Caster deck made here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second photo is Damon, Jim, Brad Strandler, Strople and Biker.

I learn all the secret tricks to make the best boards around from the big boss Jim (on the left), and I make them for my buddy Doug (on the right). It's a pretty cool deal. Jim has been making boards at Watson for over 30 years and Doug has been riding them for over 30 years too.

"Tod can you make and bronze some skateboards for awards for event?" I was all f**k that. Ten days really!?!? Since it was only four awards I reluctantly agreed to do something. I talked to Jim at Watson and we came up with a plan. Hand made WL630 decks. Stringers with fiberglass. Wes Humptson did the hand lettering which we silk screened on the four decks and then Mikey Ratt hand pinstriped each one. Fiberglass went over this to encapsulate the art. Suregrip trucks and wood wheels which we lasered for each inductee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who are they for? Bruce Logan, Tony Alva, Tony Hawk and Danny Way. Congratulations to them. The first four inductees to the Skateboarding Hall of Fame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to Jim Johnson, Wes Humptson, Mikey Ratt, Sergio, Damon, Ricardo, Richard and the rest of the Watson Posse.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3122954650906764230-3269649019411777247?l=watsonlaminates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://watsonlaminates.blogspot.com/feeds/3269649019411777247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://watsonlaminates.blogspot.com/2009/10/skateboarding-hall-of-fame-2009.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3122954650906764230/posts/default/3269649019411777247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3122954650906764230/posts/default/3269649019411777247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://watsonlaminates.blogspot.com/2009/10/skateboarding-hall-of-fame-2009.html' title='Skateboarding Hall of Fame 2009'/><author><name>swank zine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12335478864160261810</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__LFHcfCn1oY/TOWqHCem5KI/AAAAAAAAKGY/ek2lv_HlzQQ/S220/IMG_0368.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__LFHcfCn1oY/SudZovfLBAI/AAAAAAAAGM4/4RQETHqWVdg/s72-c/R0055956.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122954650906764230.post-3625882004685019094</id><published>2009-10-27T13:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T13:15:03.382-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Secret Project</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__LFHcfCn1oY/SudUvzRQxSI/AAAAAAAAGMY/6_O5Wr0-B_M/s1600-h/R0055906.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;
