First post

nice pair of grinders

Yes them wide ones are really rare , saw some on eBay USA other day and they fetched really strong money

yes the ebay ones did well didnt they,i also have a single 9" one just in case anyone has another one to sell me ?they just dont turn up ever

Yes the guy I got my fresh air deck off a few months ago said he had some but couldn’t find them and said he’d let me know when he did which he did he said I’ve just listed them on eBay so I had a look and they sold as soon as they went on I think he put £125 on them which was cheap , they had been on the Ben Liddell deck since new , was a shame to miss them

I got a “Free” set last year but it involved a lot of effort

yes i told glen id gazumped him

I’ve got the site now working with no prefix so just www.vintageskateboard.co.uk but it’ll still work on the forum.vintage skateboard.co.U.K. As well

lazers

the 9" lazers had a unique baseplate which was also redesigned somewhere along their short lifespan,the base of the kingpin and pivot cup areas were increased in height and beefed up

You hardly see the wider lazers like you have always fetch good money when the come up

I rode Lazers back in the day the 9” are pretty rare but we’re a good truck by then

From memory there were 3 versions of the 8” the last one being the same baseplate and set up as the 9”

The first still had the ACS style kingpin with the lock nut then they replaced that with extra large bottom grommet but still the hex head bolt then finally the replaceable king pin with the little Allen key bolt on top.

I was as light as a feather then and still managed to break the kingpins

I believe this is the first 8” with normal grommets and a lock nut.
