The CAB' s intro- I am The CAB

Never heard of ya...but welcome...I was skateboarding in 1961...made the board from rollerskates and a hunk of wood...went really fast behind my friends ten speed schwinn....then I fell off....switched to gokarts.

 

Velcome!



Don't worry about buying a rod, it's obvious you want to make it your own. I'll be doing the same once my kustoms finished.

Cheers

Maiki

*bows - yes I grew up watching you SK8 to*

 

Welcome aboard Steve. Nice car, great intro. Never heard of you but it sounds like you're ok.
Later skater...

 

too cool. welcome from another fan. I'm 26 now and started skating at around 11 or 12, when the bones brigade was still really popular. you guys were my heroes! it was good to see you in the 411's after so many years.
i'm also a fan of your coupe though, nice fucking car!

 

Welcome - any more pictures of your coupe?

Did someone say tits?

 

Welcome to the HAMB. Good lookin model A and a fine intro. When I read you were a skater born in 64 I couldn't help flashing back to where I was in '64... flashing back now...
Met a new guy in high school who'd moved up to central Oregon from California. Called himself Hobie and he was a surfer. With no surf in the center of the state, he showed us how to build a skateboard from cast-off roller skates and a 2X6. We usta drive to the next town in his 37 chevy sedan and skate on the tennis courts. One day we found Central Oregon Community College....built on a mountain with miles of new, winding, smooth sidewalks! Steep and narrow [with pine trees] but had soft green grass to crash onto....man, I usta love "skateboarding" in the mid 60's on homemade boards!

 

Your name sounds familiar?

Sam, I have a Euro site bookmarked at home with info on pressing your own decks, shoot me a reminder and I will link it.

 

Saw your coupe at the BP, liked it, welcome Hero.

 

That's cool T-man... I have had kids buy skateboard blanks... but then all they have to do is cut them out and drill the holes for the trucks... I teach at a Middle School, and we have damn near everything to build anything... and if we don't, we can buy it... soooooooooo, if anyone has any info on building decks, I'd appreciate it.

Sam.

That's how far I got on this thread before I yelled to a couple of guys at work, "Guess who just signed up on the HAMB, freakin' Caballero!" They both immediatly knew who I was talkin' about.

So, anyhow, Howdy and Welcome from Texas. This is a great place to ask questions while learning about your car.

Post a picture of your Ariel and Beeser. I'd like to see 'em.

 

Hey there!

I used to have a Faction "cassette" back in the day.

"Let's Go get cokes, cause anything else would make me choke!"" see? hahaaa

Anyway, I was then and still am a fan and always loved watching those old bones brigade videos.

Glad to see you on the HAMB, lots of other crazy skaters on here and the hot rod knowledge is plentiful. There's a fair number of freaks on here, but most of them are relatively harmless. Of course, If you end up with a rash or discharge, see a doctor.

WELCOME!

Welcome. Similar story to the above replies, I'm 29, started skating in high school, and guys such as yourself were my idols.
Welcome to rods, & welcome to the HAMB.

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

Ive never heard of you either haha, so im not as starstruck as most I guess (maybe you taught Tony the 900? )

Nice intro and I hope you keep your mind set to building hotrods, I dont see how it could lead to any letdowns

one question:

At any rate, welcome

ps, you are just plain "in like flint" if 1Low approves of your presence lol

 

HOLY SHIT - I cant believe your on the Hamb. You have inspired my whole life since I was a kid. I skated for over 13 years and you have been there all the way never stopping never quiting.. Before I rant more I want to take the time to say THANK YOU for being such a positive person for me in my life.. I now have a son who is just starting to skate and it is awesome to have a respected skater such as yourself to show him. I still have backyard footage of you skating Lances old ramp with Chris Borst and others.. Cab thank you.. for what you may ask, for everything...Oh and welocome to the Hamb. I have learned alot from here and you can too.. See you next time you come to Utah...

 

welcome. i dig that car and i have 2 pairs of your shoes....small world after all!

 

It's better to buy something cool, than to try and build something cool without succeeding....right DRj ????

Well being 55 years old, my first skateboard had metal wheels and was built after hearing "grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me" on the radio.

That said, You obviously have achieved a great deal in your chosen sport and regardless of what sport that is it takes a hell of a lot of work and dedication to rise to the top, gets my respect.

Welcome to the HAMB.

Cab, thanks so much for taking the plunge and signing up. Really cool... I think you are going to dig this place - lots of smart folks that are willing to share and teach. And you already know how honored I am to even have ya looking at our threads. Whether you know it or not, you have inspired a lot of people's hot rods for a real long time...

thanks again all... i'll be a-lurkin

Welcome and will someone help SamIYam with his Wood Issues. Askin Caballero how to press wood together and make a skateboard is like asking Barry Bonds how to make a Bat. You're funny bro

Steve if you're ever in Livermore, CA make sure you go by SamIYam's place; he is the real deal hot rodder in the Gay Area and he'll help anyone who is interested in learning, even his a-hole brother (me).
