G&S FIBREFLEX | HISTORY, SETUP, and SKATE

Skateboarding Nostalgia: G&S FIBREFLEX TEAMRIDER. Complete Setup and SKATE (PART1)

First off, thanks to the Concrete Wave ( https://youtube.com/@concrete-waves?s... ) for providing great articles and pictures to go with this video. Thanks for all you do for the community .

I was going to nerd out bad on all the details, we will save that for part 2.

Bottom line, I love Gordon and Smith, G&S, Skate Boards. Growing up in San Diego, G&S is Surf and Skate culture to me. This video is important to me because I get one step closer to getting back to everything I love about skateboarding.

A Brief History of Gordon and Smith Skateboards, Fibreflex skateboards, a complete setup, and Skating Fayetteville North Carolina.

I hope you enjoy.
