a lot of the old wooden decks were quite well made back then,they didnt just use a jigsaw to cut out a lump of ply
that one looks a good old solid deck

Scored this recently, Had the sticker made as it didn’t have one, it didn’t turn out 100% but it looks ok when I look up from my desk.Not as god condition as the last one I had which was close to mint.

Was just discussing the Topless Olympic ads with my Mrs yesterday how did they ever get away with that in what was basically a kids magazine, good photoshopping for the the era though, unless they made really big skateboards

Haha yes a bit risqué at the time especially when you think the average reader age was 13

Over the years I have managed to pick up Blue Bird, Yellow Bird and Twin Bird wheels all nos
Yellow birds are a poor man’s G&S rollerballs, and Twin Birds a poor man’s Emotions although they did get a good write up in Skateboard!

ive seen the ads but cant say ive ever seen a board for real before,it always amazes me how many little companies there were producing stuff all in the uk that presumably went back to their proper job manufacturing what ever once the boom was over
