Where was the original posting?

Sold by someone with no bid history whatsoever.

Wow, what a cracker, never seen before. Are they UK manufactured?

Compare that to what kids are doing now on skateboards - the progression is amazing.

2 Red Zeds

Very nice indeed…… Was your 42” originally owned by Tony Hallam? The only other I’ve seen, sold on eBay a year or so back, deck only, heavily sanded….obviously had some use! I’m aware of some possible repros as the template may of came from mine, although was unsure one or even four would ever be m...

From the left: Speed Board, Benjyflex, Kicktail, Freestyle, Comp II, Sablosky I, Sablosky II - down from right, Sincalir, Henderson I, White Lightning 30, WL 27, Lollipop.

Missing 2 really.

Bought a couple of years back of eBay, wasn’t listed as a Benjyboard or with any dimensions. I initially thought it was the 27” freestyle, it was the 70mm mark 1 green kryptonics which caught my eye! I’m glad through this forum to able to identify! Bugsby, really nice collection - it's actually the...

Nice set PB.

Gullwings and Bones - every 70s teenagers dream

Sinclair left for America very soon after the release of this, and road for DTS for a while. Within 3 months the entire BB team was disbanded...

Difficult to say which the rarest of the BBs is. This is certainly one I rarely see, and never for sale. The very first wooden deck, with inbuilt risers, absolutely mint Trackers and OJs (even good colour). Note the first Benjyboard logo before it quickly was upgraded to the newer version. Close cou...

A couple of pigs that came out in the same month from either sides of the Atlantic. Uber rare GW Pro 7" (DT) and Pro 8" (BB).

Most people have seen these. Some are rarer than others. This was a 30" WL that is unusual, with reasonable OJs, but good Gullwings with plates. Smallest Comp II with stage II Lime Greens on Tracker mids. The Freestyle on the end was my first board (I think) with ACS500s and Gen I bottle green ...
