Vintage 1970s skateboard forum

more classic wheels,i never realised those tunnel rocks were so expensive,thats was top money, i always assumed they were more of a budget wheel

i used to go to skateside at kettering sometimes,there was a half pipe and other stuff ive forgot but ive never managed to find a single pic of the place though

for some reason i remember always wanting that "magician" board, probably because it was in a slightly more affordable price range than the others,although still out of reach

for uk adverts then i dont think you could beat all the alpine sports ones

another favourite

i always wanted to recreate this advert but have never had any 60mm blue kryps or yandalls so it never happened

another classic

i used to spend ages looking at these beauties,other than the alley cat i think ive owned all these at some point

ill start it off with my first ever "proper" board,the grentec coyote,mine was in red and cost £12.50 but you had a hell of a job getting proper griptape to stick to the textured surface,without any it was pretty slippery

what a great idea

excellent

can we have a dedicated vintage skateboard ads category ,im sure we could all find loads to post on there

how about this for a kicktail? not sure if its a deck or a piece off an arm chair

lollipop for sale,shame about the rebated nose and tail savers,and lack of grip,other than that its perfect :lol: i dont think ive ever seen any cd 1st gen kryps? either that or the markings just got worn away with the lettering,that sounds most likely :) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395429072397?itmm...
