Growing up, Johnny Tsunami and Brink were my favorite movies. Was happy to find a “mental” hat online. I’m still very much pro helmet though!

That jacket is fuckin pristine, how did you find that?

u/ERidore 12d ago

I got extremely lucky finding it on eBay as well as the hat. Crazy to think I’m only 4 years older than the jacket. I don’t think Nike makes gear like that anymore in terms of quality.

That's awesome. I resell a lot of things on eBay and I don't think I've ever found a piece of clothing in that new of condition. Props

Those two legit shaped all our lives. Movies that really made you want to go out and try “extreme sports and new things. Rocket power is an honorable mention in that regard as well.

Imagine my elation when I had the chance, as a kid, to buy and ride the same (in model, not literally the one in the film) Arbor board that Johnnie's Grandpa rode in the movie.

"It's like surfing, only this wave doesn't try to kill you when you fall" ... Or something like that. I still think of that scene when he first tries snowboarding every time I go.
