I need some good old style maps like those of val0108 or skystar's old maps to practice my reading. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Holy cow thanks a lot that's truly all i'll ever need
older skystar and val0108. so essentially what you are looking for isn't 2008 - 2010 maps but more something like 2011 - 2012 maps. also a bit harder i guess. i don't particularly think skystar and val are the hardest to read but i guess i'll try to keep that in mind.
shinxyn, spboxer3 (both a bit easier mostly but i love them both also natteke, leorda, reisen udongein if you are fine with a bit easier maps and mtcml or starrodkirby (even though i personally don't like his maps thaat much) for even older stuff)

Thanks for the maps too. I just don't know many of old mappers because i'm very used to modern maps but i find even modern maps sometimes can contain very tricky patterns that old style maps offer a lot so i'm just looking for old maps as a way to improve my general skills.
i understand that 
i mean i exactly started during that time so of course i'm used to it and also i'm more into reading anyways. everyone has their strengths and weaknesses which is really cool.
and of course new maps can be just as hard or even harder. i mean it's pretty hard to find older maps that are hard in terms of hard, most of them are just hard in terms of weird/bad (y'know stuff like shotgun symphony+ or farucon pan by neo@lex).
nowadays you would consider someone playing 5* pretty normal. that wasn't the case back then (also because score-based rankings didn't give that much of an incentive to push higher) so older maps are usually lower in star rating too.
