Hi it’s Steve
Itsonlymoney on EBay and BullDog Skates

I started off around 2000 With The British Skateboard Museum trying to collect / Colate every British board ever made I know but I was naive.

Work and money got in the way and I sold virtually all of the collection below and some others not listed.

I now collect mostly reissue and remakes boards from 1979 and 1970’s British stuff

I currently have 3 Benjyboards, a Manx Slalom board, Wasp trucks Mark Baker Megatron Trucks and a few sets of British Wheels.

Some nice stuff do you still have your fresh air I had one a few years back sold it and regretted it but got another one a few weeks ago , the wasp trucks you never see them , I’ve a couple of Mark baker trucks really cool them

hi steve,i didnt know that site was yours re the collecting them all,that would certainly have been impossible given the amount of folk churning decks out back then

Hi folks, it looks like I'm a bit late to the party here but pleased to have come across the forum. Trevor, four95 on the Bulldog Skates forum which I sadly miss. I recognise a few names on here from there too.
Started skating in 77 and still having as much fun riding now. I was lucky enough to get a Saturday job in Surrey Skateboards around 79 while I was at school and had it for a couple of years until I left and started my apprenticeship. Good times.

Hi All,
Guy M, 57 year old that thinks he still 17. Very average skater in the mid to late 70's. Lived in the midlands, lucky enough to have a few visits back to Arrow & Skateopia in Wolverhampton, other than that it was hand built quarter pipes, bit of slalom, kerb grinding and 360's. Love looking back and reminiscing about those days and pouring over the ads in skateboard magazine. Recently picked up some 2nd gen kryps and wasp trucks on an unidentifiable deck for good money. Refurbed the trucks and invested in a fibreflex reissue, turned out nice. Can't believe the money some of the stuff is getting at the moment, BB decks, Sims, Gullwing trucks etc etc. Remember when Belair Wings came out and lads were saying they were too hard, then a few of the talented boys at Arrow were riding them.....wow!! Great times!

Welcome guy , get some pics up

[GuyM]

Attached a few pics of what I have. Love looking back to the magazine ads etc but the prices for old skate stuff has gone bonkers unless you get lucky. Have ordered some Wasp stickers for my fibreflex, will probably have some left over. If the quality is good and there are any Wasp owners out there that would like some I'd be happy to send out FOC. First come first served.
