DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH



so thursday is like another day. until this guy i know brings me this old board he had lying around. he told me about it before saying it had some indy's on it with a unicorn. so when i get it i was stoked. first off it had the og indy 169's. second it had the original sims wheels from the 80's. cool enough. i thought. so on to the deck. at fisrt glance i thought it was an old stedham. but when i turned it over it had a unicorn poster glued to the board. i looked at the top to see if it was a powell. but there was no logo. so i figured i would make some art project outta the deck and ride the trucks and wheels. so i started picking at the logo. realizing there was a graphic underneath. i peeled a little more exposing the paisley's, thinkin what the hell valterra type board is this?. but as i kept goin i made this killer discovery.

this is what covered the board.



this is what i found.................................


if you have never heard of JFA aka JODY FOSTERS ARMY. then now you have this board is original from the 80's . this was a skate rock band that had their own board. and now i had a piece of my teenage years, and also skateboard history.
