Roskopp


My first real skateboard back in the 80's was a Rob Roskopp Face Deck. I saved my money a bought it from a small skate shop in town that was only open for a few months. It was blue with pink tape. It was my street board and my primary mode of transportation in those days. I had it for about a week and snapped the tail off doing foot plants off the back of the old man's car. I did get a replacement for the shop but I can't for the life of me remember what ever became of the deck. When the new Santa Cruz re-issues came of I just had to get. Not sure if I will ever skate it. It may end up as a wall hanger.
