Vintage 1970s skateboard forum

That’s why I put this up as I heard bds was going but then it seemed like it wasn’t , shame as there’s loads of info on the collecting pages on there that will be lost for good

yep its now gone forever,hopefully we can slowly build up some good info on here too if folk start to put up pics etc,maybe the site needs some publicity somehow to get it known that it actually exists

I had a sims racing turner summer ski nos undrilled which I sold a few years back to a well known pro skateboarder on eBay ( I can’t remember who it was ) although I got good money at the time for it I regretted selling it and I look on eBay and in a fair few years since I maybe have seen one turner for sale in all that time

there was a green one on there not long ago,where as we always dreamed of owning splitaxles back in the day the turner wasnt even possible in a dream! must have been the most expensive deck ever back then

If I inadvertently delete any valid posts let me know as I’m getting a fair few fake members trying to join up to spam the forum who I’m deleting

shame these idiots havent got anything better to do with their lifes

Yes need some more genuine people on putting some content up , I noticed it’s started to appear on the search engines a bit
Now I’ll try and get some more content on

Yes it’s only for the elite few on here

Found these pics I put them on Facebook 9 years since ,the benjys I still have ,the others have gone , on top of kitchen units , they were the days

2 benjyboards, a sims taper kick and a og dog town big foot with oval cut outs and the fade spray base , it was all original finish as well but was only 11 inches wide instead of 12 as it had some edge damage on the sides at some point before my time

Oh a Brad bowman 10.0,

i bet the wife loved that layout ive never had a bigfoot as on the odd occasion one does come up for sale they are always well expensive,oval wells and sprayed rails would be the ultimate

Yes I wouldn’t get away with it now ,stuff was really reasonable when I bought most of my stuff, the dogtown Bigfoot was around £180 complete that was with stage one or two Indy’s and sims comp conical wheels

Mine was just the same as the one on the left on below pic the paint job was just the same I think they called it car paint or something

that sure was a bargain by todays prices then! i always thought the oval wells were strange looking but pretty unique,they didnt take away any strength like the usual shaped ones but probably took too long to cut back then so werent around for long

Proper skill and no fear

what helemts did everyone wear? i used to have an orange norcon with a black arrow on the top,i always wanted a kanoa flyaway but no chance with the price of them, i also seem to remember having a metal flake orange fibreglass one that im sure was called a "flash" but ive never been able to find anything with that name,maybe i imagined it
