Only Henderson's on that one.
Sablosky signed my board that was in the display window (and got grabbed by the gallery bouncer in the process!!)

Was just thinking about this while cycling to work the other day, does anyone own or know of an NOS set of Benjyboard Boots or Superboots? I had this lovely orange one at one stage but can’t remember if I have ever seen a complete mint set of either there’s bound to be a few surely Photo Skateboardzoo.

i used to have some nos green boots but only a pair,i had them for donkeys yrs and realised i was never going to find anymore so sold em on,glad i did because ive still never seen any more since
ill ask pete what he has,i know he has some green boots but i dont think they are nos, i love those orange superboots,just think if a nos set of those ever appeared on ebay,that would cause some mad bidding frenzy i bet

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.

[Itsonlymoney!!!]

That’s. Great collection, I’m curious as to what wheels you have on the Sinclair and the 42” Downhill

[SlackAlice]

That orange 'Superboot' isn't a Superboot. Its a Superboot print on a Hobie Claw wheel. Possibly an experimental. The production Superboots were rebranded Belair Lipcones with the metal core.

Saw the orange one at London Calling exhibition!

I have one single NOS wheel...

[punkboy]

thats interesting,ive owned a couple of sets of lipcones and they werent as wide as that boot looks in the pic,the conical back certainly wasnt that big although i suppose it could have been lathed bigger but then that would have reduced the width of the running surface? also the outerlip was more rounded the boot looks a bit flatter,have you compared it side by side with a lipcone?
the orange boot does indeed look the same as a claw, very crafty

[SlackAlice]

I think you're right.. side by side they do look more rounded at the lip.

[punkboy]

i discussed this with pete and he sent me some pics of his for comparison,close but no cigar

[SlackAlice]

Very interesting! Did Belair also produce the wheels for Hobie?

[punkboy]

could well have done,kryptonics used to make wonkers for g+s so there may have only been a handful of places making wheels for everyone

[SlackAlice]

Another possible entry... Mike Weed conicals... very similar lip shape.
Photo isn't high quality - sorry!

[Itsonlymoney!!!]

Even those two Nos Super Boots are slightly different, but some rare and lovely wheels there

[punkboy]

yeah i thought about the weeds but they arent alloy cored

[Itsonlymoney!!!]

I found a couple of images of a clean set of Superboots I had saved, unfortunately not mine
