Vintage 1970s skateboard forum

Finally, maybe one of the rarest I own - a '77 Zephyrflex in the transition between Zephyr & Z Flex. Still the translucent Zephyr look, they removed the stickers and sold only a few before the transition to Z Flex and the introduction of pigment boards rather than just tint.

Z Black & White, a personalised JA original. These are pretty unusual to say the least.

It's Simon from Poole skateshop - still the oldest surviving in the country I believe. I dropped in & saw him when I was there last month. Believe me, they're all legit & he is about to unload a ton of stuff on the market. All good quality as well.

Wonder what this one is worth? Mark Mayers restored it for me years ago, and kept the original sticker. I've never seen another one for sale since.

I agree Nick, I vacilate back and forth. They used to all hang in my office and it was worth keeping, but I sold both the business and the office and now is not the time to be buying commercial property. So they hang in our holiday home, but we occasionally Air BnB that and I'm terrified one day I ...

Did Steve post something up about selling a Manx board, or am I imagining things?

Still getting pretty good prices Steve. I was contemplating putting my entire BB collection up, not sure yet. Would rather it went as a full collection.

There are other priorities right now.

Glen you've to 1 or 2 of those JH boards?

Paul Philips made a identical replica of those speed boards if you're interested. He may still have one, not sure. They were perfect replica.

Anyone know of a Henderson mkII?

I'm ramping up the effort to find one.

BTW - someone has offered me Sinclair's rider if you want it I will connect. PF9s, it has the checkerboard bottom. Wants about GBP1k

Steve, Sims on the Sinclair, and uber rare Sims Giant Slaloms (the only Sims wheel with no branding on it).

You mean the translucent Zephyr? Sadly, it's close enough red for me. Like you say Steve, you'll only sell it anyway and it would be lost in some storage cupboard there.

These are the jelly moulds

On the hunt for a Henderson II if anyone has one, is interested or knows of one, let me know.

Pretty much the only BB I really want, there's a few but they are mostly odd balls.

Great pics AW - I can't even remember Max Kirsten, where did he fit in again? Sablosky turned into a bit of a flaker me thinks. I think skating was probably the pinnacle of his life. We're all meeting for a beer next time I'm over, either later this year or early next. Unless you want to come to Oz ...
