Christmas 2002... and my skateboard

I know it's about a week late, but I got my final Christmas presents today. I definitely had a good holiday; got to hang out with friends/family at home and got some cool stuff. Here's a short list of what I got: 2 Gamecube games (Tony Hawk 4 and Mortal Kombat), Gamecube controller, lots of nice clothes, a remote contolled "Whoopie Cushion", and some other stuff...

But my girlfriend probably got me the coolest gift, the green Shorty's Chadillac Muskalade Skateboard. On top of that, her parents got me a gift certificate to Scheels Sporting Goods so I could buy wheels n stuff to go along with the board. There I bought some wheels, bearrings, and risers (oh, and some adidas wristbands, haha). If you know anything about skateboards, you'll probably know that this isn't enough to build an entire skateboard... A few month's ago I won a contest on monsterskate.com which got me: Trucks, bearring protectors, and hardware.

So here's my setup...
-Shorty's Green Chadillac Muskalade 7.75" deck
-Grindking leopard print trucks
-Habitat 53mm Article wheels
-Lucky Abec-3 bearrings -Lucky risers
-Rocketbolts hardware
-Rimmms bearring protectors

If you don't know what all that means and would like to, then check back in a week or so because I'm doing a video tutorial for another website on how to build a complete skateboard. I'll go into detail on everything in that video.
