| 1503 | Article | Vaporman87 | I only ever owned the Lazer Tag sets, so I can't comment on Photon. However, Lazer Tag was great fun when it was released. Although the sensors didn't always work well (not registering hits when it should have). I've never actually done the indoor arena thing. I've considered it many times throughout the years, but just never committed to doing it. I'm guessing it's quite fun with a group of family or friends. This article contained a lot of info I was not previously aware of, so thanks for shedding light on it. | Nov 13, 2014 |  | |
| 1504 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Yeah, going to the Laser Tag arenas is pretty fun. The people who just hide out as "snipers" are lame, but most everybody is on the move and you never know who is around the next corner. My friends and I used to strap-on the laser tag gear to battle each other at a local elementary school around 9am at night rather than pay the $5-$10 a person. | Laser-Daze: Photon vs Lazer Tag | Nov 14, 2014 | |
| 1507 | Article | Vaporman87 | I'm interested in the BraveStarr figures/guns. Thinking about checking Ebay for some of those. :) | Laser-Daze: Photon vs Lazer Tag | Nov 14, 2014 | |
| 5795 | Article | seanh841 | Awesome review of the Photon Warrior and Laser Tag! However, aside from your informative review of 1980s interactive kids-toys, I would have liked to see your speculations about what might have been if both Laser Tag, Photon Warrior, and Captain Power were combined into one theme before being released into the public. | Laser-Daze: Photon vs Lazer Tag | Apr 08, 2024 | |
| 1496 | Article | pikachulover | @ Hoju You're from Newport right? My dad grew up in the Valley as an adolescent and he surfed and skated. In the 1960s and 70s. I grew up in the valley too; the San Gabriel Valley. :P I never skated, but it had a stronghold on my high school in the late 90s early 2000s. I think I've been on a skateboard like 4 times in my life. I was more proficient on in-line skates and 4 wheeler skates. The skaters used to think I was a poser because I loved skater music, but I didn't skate. I also really liked skater fashion. Wallet chains, wide legged pants(which I still wear today), crop tops for girls, and of course skate shoes. It was funny in high school there was a surfer teacher from Long Beach and he used to say "Dude" a lot. We would make fun of him for talking like that. | Skate or Die | Nov 08, 2014 | |
| 1497 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman 87: Glad to hear that your board was functional ;) of course now we all want to know how to catch a glimpse of this band of skate hooligans that terrorizes your town annually. My brain imagines them skating at each other like a joust and meeting in the middle exchanging punches to the face. @pikachulover: Yeah I grew up in Irvine, which is right next to Newport Beach. I think 75% of skaters are posers (the fashion is definitely a big draw), but the hardcore 25% that hone their skills are really impressive. Skater girls are always cool, whether they skate ot not. FYI: There's a lot of great skateboarding documentaries on Netflix right now, my favorite is "Bones Brigade", which covers the era I wrote about here. | Skate or Die | Nov 08, 2014 | |
| 1495 | Article | Vaporman87 | It did indeed make it's way to my neighborhood. I myself was not immune to it, and had my own board. It wasn't anything fancy, that's for sure, but it did the job. I got good enough to keep it moving, but that was it. I just didn't have the time or inclination to learn much more than that. I had my bike, and my roller skates and that was good enough for me. Now outside of town, we have a skater culture that you wouldn't want any part of. It's a place where the worst of the worst come to make messes, punch each other, and drink until they can't breath. It's awful. Thankfully they only convene once a year for their biggest stupidfest. And you always know when that's coming, because you see them buzzing to and fro... they are unmistakable. There is a documentary on this place, but I'm not promoting here as I've already mentioned it more than it deserves in the forum some time ago. Last time they had their "thing", a camera crew with a giant black Winnebago and a van with a bumper mounted camera was following the "ring leader" of this bunch into our local department store. Hurray. | Skate or Die | Nov 07, 2014 | |
| 1499 | Article | Vaporman87 | The documentary on our local crazies is called "Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy" which is also available on NetFlix. Prepare to be disturbed. lol | Skate or Die | Nov 08, 2014 | |
| 1528 | Article | NLogan | Gleaming the Cube was awesome. Tony Hawk is the guy with the Pizza Hut truck. <img style="width: 373px; height: 281px;" src="http://uncletnuc.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/3e171-huttruck1.png"> I always wanted a Powell Peralta Skull and Snake McGill board, or the Tony Hawk Skull board but never got one. I had a relatively obscure Bob Reeves Airbourne deck with a dragon on skulls with Independant trucks and either OJ or Slimeball wheels. At one point I had Gull wing trucks. Before that I had a Nash board from either K-Mart or Shopko I can't remember. I drew all kinds of skate designs on my school folders and had stickers in my locker. I sprained my ankle getting a signature from Tony Hawk at a vert demo. I always wore either my checkered vans or my black ones. I never did get into the MC Hammer skater pants though. My little brother turned out to be a way better skater than I ever was. I bought him a Zero board with three skulls on it and matching helmet and knee pads. | Skate or Die | Nov 25, 2014 | |
| 3534 | Article | DirtyD79 | I still remember my skateboard from when I was a kid. It was a skinny yellow one. I really wanted one of the Vision Street Wear ones I saw at this one roller skating rink but that was not in the cards. Naturally being an 80s kid I never wore a helmet or pads same with riding bikes. Nobody in my neighborhood did. It's a miracle any of us made it to be adults. lol | Skate or Die | Apr 30, 2016 | |
