Here’s my old nos sims racing turner signed by mrs sims himself

Funny how many of them were undrilled, they are definitely a board for using. I skated a G&S FF Slalom and they were very different to use. At the time I don’t think I weighed enough to make the turner flex

dont know how i missed this post? it sure is a beauty,i think id have had trouble letting that one go if id owned it

From memory it was signed under the clear coat , a well known pro skater from back in he day bought it when I sold it on eBay years since

ive given up owning one now,there was one just ended in the states for around £1500 but it got no bids,that was tempting but with the import fees then it would have been far too expensive,plus of course ebays extra tax that they now charge you for buying outside the uk ill stick with my poor mans fibreflexs

I still can't seem to post a new thread in the Turner section so here's a pic of a few of mine..

Whooooaaaa even with that many turners I’d never get sick of looking at them wow what a hoard , well jealous , a few different types and generations there , takes some time to have si many no wonder I can’t find a turner you’ve got them all

are you still collecting them trev? i think you have enough now great collection

Wow…..,very impressive!

Thanks for the comments. I'm still on the lookout for Turners although I try to go for earlier boards now. They don't seem to come up often and like everything else now, prices are through the roof. I'll try and get a more up to date pic, I've got some GS Hybrids and a few that haven't been drilled too.

What’s the grip tape I want to buy for a turner I want to do the strips like four95,s are on the pics higher up, only thing it’s a black top so maybe consider coloured grip but I want to keep it as it should be
