Do It

Guys, skateboarding is a sport and an art. Get your head together and express yourself. Put your mind to it. Because if you don't practice your form of expression, you will never get it right. No matter how you do it, whether you are goofy footed, regular footed, or even mongo, just skateboard.

A Review of My Good Old Toy Machine

Specs:
Brand- Toy Machine
Size- 8.375x32.25
Technology- None
Pro- Ed Templeton Pro Model

REVIEW: 9/10
To be honest, I got this board used, for free, from my friend Steve. Steve is the manager of my local Zumiez. He gets a new board every other week, so he barely used this one. There was obviously a little wear on the nose and tail of the board when I obtained it, but it was in pretty good shape.
First Thoughts: At first sight, I thought it was a great board. I was getting a pretty good deal, too. I went into my Zumiez that day to get new trucks. Steve saw my dilemma, so he sold me his Tensor Magnesium Response Mid trucks with Bones Hardcore Medium bushings for $10 dollars. He also saw how shitty my Superior board was, so he gave me the Toy Machine for free!
Concave: Medium concave, which made it seem a little less wide than the size made it. It was pretty steep on the nose and a little more mellow on the tail. 9/10
Durability: Lasted me 2 months (actually just 1 month of heavy duty use due to my school schedule) 7/10
Graphic: Pretty sick looking board graphic. It was the typical sect monster you come to expect from Toy Machine. The monster was below this sick, trippy-ass rainbow blotch. It looked awesome. Paint didn't chip too easily which is a good thing, but the paint became patchy in some areas. But this is a Toy Machine x Emerica Stay Gold collaboration board, so it is awesome. 9/10

GO GET A TOY MACHINE BOARD. :D
