Please, please don't pay 'personal rider' prices when it isn't!! I spoke at length to Marc Sinclair at the London Calling event, and he stated that the checkerboard bottom board is NOT a personal rider. The owner and I also had a chat about it and he also conceded that it wasn't.
It's a good example though and the (mismatched 151/169) trucks/wheels also worth having IMO.
I DO have one of Marc's (signed) personal riders on it's way to me as we speak! Most graciously agreed to part with it! It's the ONLY prototype of the downhill/speed board made. No inset badge, only one on the planet. He's had it since '78. Should receive it tomorrow/Wednesday. Grip tape scraps from the floor of the Benjy factory! Bit of damage to the nose but....
I'll post better pics when it arrives!

I don't think he could find any of the kevlar-type fibreboard! Otherwise, knowing how detail-oriented Paul is he would have used it!

As you are having good contact with Marc, could you ask him who made Benji Boots and SuperBoots for them?
Maybe we can finally find out
