was valterra the shyts with the orange bumpers on the bottom? (graphics would always be chinese dragons and tigers...maybe?) haha that was before i was skating but i've seen a few if that's them.
the original one that im speaking of.. actually, there were a few.. but, the main one that was dope, was the Melt Down.. they had a few pros, but no one too heavy..
Valterra was a sub-division of Madrid, and basically made price-point boards.. sold em at KMart, and sporting goods stores.. alot of folks had em, when i started skating..
they also made the Alf, and Back to the Future boards.. Micheal J. Fox, was riding one in the movie..
