Vintage 1970s skateboard forum

ill have the 99p kryps please interesting to note the bb boots are the most expensive wheels along with gyros,maybe that why there arent any about?

Yes 99p not bad eh I’ve had a few skateboards with the alpine sticker on like the top of that ad

i used to get most of my gear from either surrey skateboards, alpine or eric snook was it ? someone like that

own up then,who used to run a gravel guard?

Hand you if you decide to go skateboarding and the paths full of snow

I’ll scan and post up a 1981 Surrey Skateboards price list

Wide Benjyboards £9.99 custom grip but may not have sticker

I actually bought those 99p kryptonic C/D back in the day

Always came with a few stickers and a hand written note of the latest stock

£4.95 for a chapstick and £6.95 for a bb comp,£8.95 for a henderson wish id bought all the z smooths at £1.50 each

just think,if you had bought that muir with lazer grinders and park riders for £29.95 and stashed it away you would easily get over £1k for it now

anyone ever heard of these spyders from the 70's?

No , They look like YoYo copies

Is that ad from Skateboarder

yes, ive never seen a set ever ,agree they do look like yoyos,everyone used to rip designs off back then,folk use to rip off sims,kryptonics,trackers,etc,all the time didnt they,dont think they would get away with it nowadays so easily

Surrey Price list from 1981 I suppose Benjyboard were old hat by then, we had all moved on to Variflex and Powell Peralta or if you were a bit older Motorbikes, Girls and Cars

Good price lists Steve , never realised they were tracker decks

the only tracker decks i know of were the rockit ones which were sold through g+s at the time,would love to see some pics of those others
