Vintage 1970s skateboard forum

Was just discussing the Topless Olympic ads with my Mrs yesterday how did they ever get away with that in what was basically a kids magazine, good photoshopping for the the era though, unless they made really big skateboards

Scored this recently, Had the sticker made as it didn’t have one, it didn’t turn out 100% but it looks ok when I look up from my desk.Not as god condition as the last one I had which was close to mint.

That looks a good well made deck, certainly comparable to. Sims or Benjy

I would give Sean Goff a shout- Toddtwist on eBay or Dee at Conflict Skates both would know what your looking and may have old stock.

Modern grip is pretty lightweight compared to bitd

Anyone pick up the Shogo with the Benjy boots on it ? Went for a fair enough price I thought
given the prevailing economic conditions

That’s an expensive board with the Stokers on it. Did Kluskie (Steve Church) Own Turner Summer Ski at one time ? Early 2000’s

Funny how many of them were undrilled, they are definitely a board for using. I skated a G&S FF Slalom and they were very different to use. At the time I don’t think I weighed enough to make the turner flex

Yes Completely flat wall hangars they actually hang better lol
Someone was making them on Skull n Bones about 10 or 15 years ago, they even had a website and did miniatures too
I had about 5 made of boards I knew I would never be able to afford in any condition let alone nos

Manx Slalom, I wanted the 2 Kanoa tri-beams or the nos Benjyboards from Antstee’s stash but this was all I could afford

Did I mention I have a completely fake completely flat fake Simms Phase III

The Jedeck later came in a 30 x 10. I was bidding on the only one I’d ever seen on eBay and had got to ver £100 If I remember correctly when the seller emailed me to say he was ending the auction to sell to Jed himself which I thought was fair enough.

And here are my other set a half used half nos mixed set of Lemon & Lme 65mms, you gotta wheel and deal to get your favourite wheels

Yes it is good to see a bit of activity.

Here are a used but good set of 62mm Gyro Conicals

Chance to snag a decent set of Benjy Boots if you are keen
