a lot of the old wooden decks were quite well made back then,they didnt just use a jigsaw to cut out a lump of ply that one looks a good old solid deck
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.

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

ive seen the ads but cant say ive ever seen a board for real before,it always amazes me how many little companies there were producing stuff all in the uk that presumably went back to their proper job manufacturing what ever once the boom was over
that one looks a good old solid deck
Nice setup never seen that brand before cool name
